Implication

Case report demonstrates successful corticosteroid management of isolated oral pemphigus vegetans in a middle-aged female, highlighting the importance of identifying atypical disease presentations.

Key Points

To describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and therapeutic outcome of an atypical case of isolated oral pemphigus vegetans on the tongue.
Evaluated a 55-year-old female presenting with a three-month history of recurring tongue blisters that developed into persistent vegetative plaques.
Performed clinical, hematological, and histopathological assessments to confirm the diagnosis.
Treated the patient with a therapeutic regimen consisting of systemic corticosteroids, topical corticosteroids, and adjunctive therapies.
Histopathological, hematological, and clinical evaluations confirmed the diagnosis of pemphigus vegetans presenting strictly in the oral cavity.
The patient achieved marked clinical improvement within weeks of starting systemic and topical corticosteroid therapy.
