Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) commonly affects the gingiva and buccal mucosa in older women. Diagnosis is aided by histopathology and direct immunofluorescence, with topical corticosteroids often used for treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Autoimmune Diseases

Background:

  • Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease.
  • Primarily affects older women, presenting with oral lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively analyze intraoral clinical signs, symptoms, and diagnostic findings of MMP.
  • To identify common oral sites and diagnostic markers for MMP.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 729 patients from a dental referral practice.
  • Clinical diagnosis of MMP in 29 cases.
  • Analysis of lesion characteristics, patient demographics, and diagnostic test results.

Main Results:

  • 93% of MMP cases presented with oral lesions only.

  • Gingiva and buccal mucosa were the most frequently affected sites.
  • Histopathology and direct immunofluorescence (IgG and C3 in basement membrane) confirmed MMP in most biopsied patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Gingiva and buccal mucosa are the primary intraoral sites for MMP.
    • Histopathologic evaluation combined with direct immunofluorescence is crucial for accurate MMP diagnosis.
