This condition is frequently misdiagnosed as cellulitis, allergic dermatitis, or other common skin disorders. Here, we present a case of severe PPD in a 52-year-old male who initially developed a rash and blistering on his forearm following outdoor activity. He was initially misdiagnosed with cellulitis; however, his symptoms persisted despite antibiotic treatment, prompting further evaluation. A detailed patient history revealed recent contact with a mulberry tree, and together with characteristic biopsy findings, confirmed the diagnosis of PPD. The patient showed significant improvement following the administration of oral corticosteroids and topical steroid treatment. This case underscores the importance of recognizing PPD in clinical practice to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure effective management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2699-8042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,12]],"date-time":"2025-09-12T23:50:06Z","timestamp":1757721006000},"page":"123-128","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Severe Phytophotodermatitis Caused by Mulberry Tree: A Case Report and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1247-3601","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Young Geun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gang Hospital, Public Health Doctor, Goseong-gun, Korea (the Republic of)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0553-0900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keun-Cheol","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, College of Medicine, Dong-A University, Busan, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"05","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"393","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqi053","article-title":"Phytophotodermatitis in grounds operatives","volume":"55","author":"P Wynn","year":"2005","journal-title":"Occup Med (Lond)"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e238745","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2020-238745","article-title":"Severe phytophotodermatitis from fig sap: a little known phenomenon","volume":"14","author":"N Redgrave","year":"2021","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"767","DOI":"10.1097\/BCR.0B013E318148CB82","article-title":"Herb of grace: an unusual cause of phytophotodermatitis mimicking burn injury","volume":"28","author":"D Furniss","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Burn Care Res"},{"issue":"08","key":"ref4","first-page":"1019","article-title":"New insights concerning phytophotodermatitis induced by phototoxic plants","volume":"14","author":"C Grosu Dumitrescu","year":"2024","journal-title":"Life (Basel)"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.12728","article-title":"Blistering phytophotodermatitis of the hands after contact with lime juice","volume":"77","author":"T Safran","year":"2017","journal-title":"Contact Dermatitis"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"128","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2010.03.030","article-title":"Full thickness burn caused by exposure to giant hogweed: delayed presentation, histological features and surgical management","volume":"64","author":"J C Chan","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e4106","DOI":"10.1097\/GOX.0000000000004106","article-title":"Tanning beds, rue, and major burns: An alarming association","volume":"10","author":"J S P\u00e9rez-Camelo","year":"2022","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open"},{"issue":"1261","key":"ref8","first-page":"U2720","article-title":"Phytophotodermatitis caused by contact with a fig tree (Ficus carica)","volume":"120","author":"J G Derraik","year":"2007","journal-title":"N Z Med J"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"933","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2016.10.018","article-title":"Keeping pace with the media;
