Sorafenib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of primary kidney cancer, advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma and radioactive iodine-resistant advanced thyroid carcinoma. Sorafenib is known to cause milder cutaneous side effects such as maculopapular rash and serious cutaneous drug reactions such as desquamation of the skin, hand-foot syndrome Stevens-Johnsons syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. We report a histopathologicaly proved case of pemphigus vulgaris caused by sorafenib.
