Abstrakt		A case of phytophotodermatitis due to contact with Ficus carica in a 35-year-old man is reported. An erythematous vesiculobullous eruption occurred every summer following the contact with this plant since 25 years ago. The photostimulated open tests with the leaf and fruit were positive, whereas the patch tests were negative. Phytophotodemiatitis possibly of allergic origin caused by a contact with Ficus carica is relatively frequent in Southern Italy and other Mediterranean areas where this plant is largely cultivated. It seems that this condition remains often misdiagnosed.
