[Epidermolysis bullosa dystrofica. Report of a case]

The dystrophic recessive type of epidermolysis bullosa affects the oral mucosa. Bullae which eventually rupture leaving painful ulcerations and finally lead to scarring usually appear on the tongue, cheek, lips and gingiva. A case of recessive dystrophic polydysplastic epidermolysis bullosa with oral manifestations in a female 23 years old is described in this paper. The patient had all the clinical characteristics of the disease.
