Abstract
Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) encompasses a diverse array of chronic autoimmune conditions characterized by the development of blisters predominantly affecting mucous membranes in various regions of the body. Commonly impacted areas include the mouth, mucosal linings of the eyes, throat, genitalia, and nasal passages. While MMP typically manifests in older women, with peak incidence occurring between 50 and 70 years of age, rare instances have been observed in children. Symptoms of MMP often entail recurrent blister formation, subsequent rupture, and potential scarring, with complications possibly affecting the eyes and throat. This article presents a unique case involving a 70-year-old female presenting with lesions localized to the oral and vaginal mucosa. A comprehensive discussion on histopathological examination findings and treatment modalities is provided. Notably, the absence of ocular involvement in this case distinguishes it from typical presentations of MMP.
