A Case of Pemphigus Vulgaris with Recurrent Laryngeal Edema

Pemphigus is an autoimmune bullous disease characterized by lesions on the skin and mucous membranes. Characteristic clinical findings include painful and intractable erosions and ulcers in the oral cavity, but when lesions are not present on the skin but only on the oral mucosa, diagnosis is often difficult. Although laryngeal lesions are believed to be uncommon as the initial manifestation of pemphigus vulgaris, it is necessary to keep in mind the possibility.
