ABSTRACT

Pemphigus vulgar is an autoimmune disease which is characterized by the presence of intraepidermal bullae. It affects any area of skin and mucosa surface. It has an incidence of 0.5 a 3.2 cases in 100,000 inhabitants per year. In a great percentage of cases, it begins in mucous membranes, and the oral is the most affected. We report the case of a 29 years old female patient with diagnosis of oral pemphigus vulgar, verificated by histological study.
