Summary
Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune Disease characterized by epithelial blistering affecting cutaneous and/or mucosal surfaces. The disease manifests as vesicles or bullae on the skin, filled with watery fluid. These vesicles, when rupture leave eroded surface on the skin. The oral lesions are characterized by blisters that rapidly rupture, resulting in painful erosions. The soft palate, buccal mucosa, and lips are commonly affected; the condition can involve any area of the oral cavity. Oral lesions are the preliminary symptoms of the disease in more than half of the cases. The current case report is of a 45 year old male presenting with lesions of unknown origin on the skin and gingiva.[2,3]
