Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunodermatology

Background:

  • Cicatricial pemphigoid (CP) is a rare, chronic, subepithelial blistering disease.
  • It primarily affects mucous membranes, causing symptoms like desquamative gingivitis, oral erosions, and conjunctival fibrosis.
  • Skin lesions are less common but can resemble bullous pemphigoid.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of Cicatricial Pemphigoid (CP).
  • To discuss clinical, pathological, and pathophysiological aspects of CP.
  • To educate healthcare professionals on early diagnosis and management.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review article, synthesizing existing knowledge on CP.
  • It covers clinical presentation, histopathology, immunopathology, differential diagnosis, treatment, and natural history.

Main Results:

  • CP presents with diverse clinical features, including oral, ocular, and cutaneous manifestations.
  • Scarring can lead to significant morbidity, such as odynophagia, upper aerodigestive tract strictures, and corneal opacities.
  • The review emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for optimal patient care.

Conclusions:

  • Familiarity with the clinical spectrum, diagnostics, and treatment of CP is essential.
  • Early diagnosis and collaboration with specialists (ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, oral medicine) improve patient outcomes.
  • Prompt and appropriate management can mitigate the severe consequences of CP.
