Abstract
We describe the case of a patient with both pemphigus vulgaris limited to the oral cavity and ocular cicatricial pemphigoid. The diagnoses were established by means of histopathologic examination and direct and indirect immunofluorescence studies and confirmed by immunoblot analysis of serum. Treatment with dapsone resulted in a prolonged remission of the ocular cicatricial pemphigoid. The pemphigus vulgaris has remained localized to the oral cavity and has responded to sublesional corticosteroid injections.
