Abstract
We describe the case of a patient with both pemphigus vulgaris limited to the oral cavity and ocular cicatricial pemphigoid. The diagnoses w ere established by means of histopathologic examination and direct and indirect immunofluorescence studies and confirmed by immunoblot analy sis of serum, Treatment with dapsone resulted in a prolonged remission of the ocular cicatricial pemphigoid. The pemphigus vulgaris has rema ined localized to the oral cavity and has responded to sublesional cor ticosteroid injections.
