Vascular Malformations and Hemangiomas

Sixty-five patients with oral mucous membrane pemphigoid were examined, treated, and followed for a mean of 3.5 years. Seventy-two percent were women, and the mean age was 59 years. In most patients multiple oral sites were involved and the gingiva was affected in 94% of the patients. Seven patients had ocular lesions (symblepharon), and seven others had nasal, vaginal, or pharyngeal involvement. Persons with skin lesions (bullous form) were not included in this series. Topical and systemic anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressive medications were successful in controlling signs and symptoms. There were no spontaneous remissions. Candidiasis, tobacco, other diseases, and drugs did not appear to be related to the pemphigoid.
