Abstrakt | A patient presented with ulcerations of the buccal mucosae, palate and gingiva. A gingival biopsy confirmed the diagnosis as pemphigus vulgaris. Despite medi-cation with systemic corticosteroids and mycophenolate mofetil, desquamative gingivitis persisted. Adjunct treatment with rituximab was therefore introduced. Regular follow- ups revealed no inflammatory gingival changes even 6 years later. | |
