Abstract

Abstract: Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LAD) is a rare chronic autoimmune disorder. As oral mucosal involvement is particularly rare, it is difficult to make a definitive diagnosis based on the oral lesions. This disorder mainly causes blisters on the skin of the whole body and may cause erosions in the oral cavity. It is characterized by linear IgA deposition on the epithelial basement membrane. This report presents a case of a refractory oral mucosal lesion that led to the diagnosis and cure of linear IgA bullous dermatosis.
