Area of Science:

  • Oral Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Autoimmune Diseases

Background:

  • Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune blistering disease affecting the skin and mucous membranes.
  • Oral lesions are often the initial presentation, causing significant pain and discomfort.

Observation:

  • A 33-year-old male presented with spontaneous, progressively spreading blisters on his oral mucosa.
  • Lesions began in the third molar region and extended to the buccal and palatal mucosa.
  • Ruptured blisters resulted in painful erosive lesions.

Findings:

  • A biopsy confirmed the clinical diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris.
  • Treatment involved systemic corticosteroids and a non-steroid immunosuppressive drug.

Implications:
