Resumen
JIMENEZ-SORIANO, Yolanda y DIAZ-FERNANDEZ, José Mª. Bullous diseases of the oral cavity: Pemphigus. RCOE [online]. 2004, vol.9, n.4, pp.439-447. ISSN 1138-123X.
Ampullar lesions of the oral mucosa comprise an important group of mucocutaneous disorders - including pemphigus. A review and update of this disease is provided, focusing on the two variants that fundamentally manifest in the oral cavity: pemphigus vulgaris and paraneoplastic pemphigus. A review is provided of the etiopathogenic criteria underlying the clinical manifestations of the disease, with an analysis of the diagnosis and treatment modalities most commonly employed in such patients. Knowledge of these aspects is important, since these disorders tend to develop in the oral cavity before extending to the rest of the body, and can contribute to ensure early diagnosis and treatment, with an improved prognosis.
