Overview

Pemphigoid belongs to a group of autoimmune diseases, characterised by the presence of autoantibodies against structural components of the dermal-epidermal junction, with the formation of subepithelial blisters. Clinical manifestation is very variable and can be associated with diagnostic delay. We report a case of 83years-old female with oral mucosa involvement in mucous membrane pemphigoid and review of the current literature. This case report emphasizes the importance of direct immunofluorescence as a diagnostic tool.
