Pemphigus vulgaris
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Pemphigus vulgaris is a severe autoimmune disorder of the skin and mucous membranes that is characterised by the formation of bulla. Oral mucosa plays an important role in the natural history of Pemphigus vulgaris. In approximately 50-70 percent of patients, the disease starts in the oral cavity and the lesions in oral mucosa precede the cutaneous lesions by several months. Very rarely lesions remain restricted to oral mucosa for prolonged period. We here in report one such case recently seen by us, where oral lesions are predominant with little or no skin lesions.
