Abstract

Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a chronic, subepithelial autoimmune disease, which predominantly involves mucosal surfaces and results in mucosal blistering, ulceration, and subsequent scarring. This article discusses the epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of MMP, with mention of related subepithelial bullous dermatoses.
