Esophageal Stenosis in Benign Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1973
A patient is reported who had benign mucous membrane pemphoid (BMMP) with life-threatening esophageal stenosis. Esophageal involvement is an uncommon, but not rare, manifestation of BMMP. Blisters and erosions eventually lead to web-like adhesions and finally stricture.

Treatment of cicatricial (benign mucous membrane) pemphigoid with dapsone

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1982
Treatment of cicatricial pemphigoid is a problem because patients afflicted are elderly, the disease is chronic, systemic agents required for control are potentially toxic (particularly to older patients), and the disease is often in an advanced stage when the diagnosis is established and requires aggressive therapy for control.
