Abstract
Pemphigus vulgaris is a chronic, erosive and bullous disease of skin and mucous membranes characterized by histologic features showing acantholysis and degeneration of the epithelial cells.
The authors have experienced one case of pemphigus vulgaris which accompained symptoms of formation of bullae and erosion on the palate and buccal mucosa in a 52 year-old woman, and reported on it with some comments based on the literature.
This lesion was diagnosed as pemphigus vulgaris by clinical features, Nikolsky's sign,
Tzanck test and histopathological examination.
In the treatment, Paramethazone·8mg/ day, Pantocin·600 mg/ day and Vitamin B1 were administered. There was no lesion recurrence in the course of about 4 years.
