Erythema multiforme (EM) presents a distinct challenge in both diagnosis and management, particularly when its manifestations extend to the oral cavity. Classified into "minor" and "major" forms based on clinical presentation, EM defies gender bias and tends to affect individuals across different age groups. The complexity arises from its varied symptoms within the oral cavity, where it commonly manifests as painful, red erosive plaques known as target lesions, primarily observed on the lips and oral mucosa. These lesions may arise independently or be linked to underlying systemic or infectious conditions, complicating the diagnostic process. Here, we present a case study of a 55-year-old female patient grappling with EM, underscoring the importance of meticulous clinical examination, thorough investigations, tailored treatment strategies, and subsequent outcomes.
多形红斑（EM）在诊断和治疗方面都面临着独特的挑战，尤其是当其表现累及口腔时。根据临床表现，EM分为“轻型”和“重型”，它不存在性别差异，且往往会影响不同年龄组的个体。其复杂性源于口腔内症状多样，通常表现为疼痛的红色糜烂斑块，即靶形损害，主要见于唇部和口腔黏膜。这些损害可能独立出现，也可能与潜在的全身或感染性疾病有关，这使得诊断过程变得复杂。在此，我们呈现一例55岁女性多形红斑患者的病例研究，强调细致的临床检查、全面的检查、个性化的治疗策略及后续结果的重要性。
