    Main Results:

    • Mucous membrane pemphigoid is a chronic autoimmune blistering disease.
    • Oral involvement is common, presenting with painful erosions and ulcers.
    • Management often involves topical or systemic corticosteroids and immunomodulatory agents.

    Conclusions:

    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for improving patient outcomes.
