Pemphigus is a group of potentially fatal dermatoses with both cutaneous and oral manifestations. Characterized by the appearance of vesicle or bullae, their manifestations in the oral cavity often precede those on the skin by many months or may remain as the only symptoms of the disease. It is therefore important that the oral manifestations of the disease are recognized on time, to make a proper diagnosis and initiate timely treatment. Here we present a case of Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) that presented with oral lesions at multiple sites including tongue, to highlight the importance of timely recognition of the oral lesions during routine dental practice for the diagnosis and management of this disease.
天疱疮是一组具有皮肤和口腔表现的潜在致命性皮肤病。其特征为水疱或大疱的出现，口腔表现通常比皮肤表现早数月出现，或者可能是该疾病的唯一症状。因此，及时识别该疾病的口腔表现对于做出正确诊断并及时开始治疗非常重要。在此，我们报告一例寻常型天疱疮（PV）病例，该病例在包括舌头在内的多个部位出现口腔病变，以强调在常规牙科诊疗中及时识别口腔病变对于该疾病诊断和管理的重要性。
