INTRODUCTION Isoradiotopic responses were first described in 2004 by Shurman et al as the development of unrelated dermatoses within previously irradiated skin. Several case reports describe development of auto-antibodyemediated diseases in the radiation treatment field including bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris. To our knowledge, only 5 cases of postradiotherapy LP have been reported since 2002. We present a case of postradiotherapy LP that was localized to the radiation treatment field with subsequent generalization to a distant site in a patient with no history of LP.
