Autosomal dominant
Freckle like lesions in and around oral cavity and hands
Oral oncogenes
Intestinal polyposis that can change to adenocarcinoma
Peutz-jeghers syndrome

Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia
Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome
Abnormal collagen production due to genetic abnormalities
Hypermobility of joints and elasticity of skin
Ehlers-danlos syndrome
Number of closely related lichenoid reactions that reflect immunologic recognition of a variety of stimuli
Lichen planus
Purple
Polygonal
Papular
Pruritic
Skin Lichen Planus
Educate patients Photograph Erosive form see four times a year Biopsy Reassure
How to monitor Lichen Planus in patients
First used in 1895 to diagnose pemphigus
Dislodgement of skin by lateral pressure
Multiple Diseases
Nikolsky sign
Average age 60
Women 2:1
Oral Lesions: Conjunctival, nasal, esophageal, laryngeal, vaginal
Clinical vesicles and bullae
Benign mucus membrane pemphigoid
Vesicles, bullae, ulcers occur anywhere in oral cavity
Blood filled characteristics
Complaints of oral bleeding, sore gums, difficulty swallowing
Clinical signs of Benign Mucus Membrane Pemphigoid
Dapsone (CI: G6PD deficiency)
Steroids
Tetracycline & Niacinamide
Immunosuppresive agents
BMMP Tx
Mucocutaneous AI disease characterized by acantholysis due to immune complex deposition at cellular attachment bridges
Intraepithelial clefting
Pemphigus Vulgaris
Adults age 50
Rare in kids
Males = Females
Almost all cases have oral involvement
Clinical signs of Pemphigus Vulgaris
Intra-epithelial separation
Immunofluorescence testing shows autoantibodies to the spinous layer of skin
Pemphigus Vulgaris
Jewish predilection
Ragged erosions and ulcers of ANY oral mucosa
Bullae rupture early and are rarely seen by DDS
(+) Nikolsky sign
Pemphigus vulgaris
Oral lesions precede skin lesions
Large, ragged ulcerations
Marginal gingiva erosions early
1-5 Million /year
Pemphigus vulgaris
Oral lesions may be the first to present in the potentially fatal disease
Blistering due to autoimmune attack of desmosomes
Pemphigus vulgaris
The oral lesions are the first to show and the last to go!
Pemphigus vulgaris
Incisional biopsy ASAP
Steroids from dentist and dermatologis
60-80% die w/o steroids
5-10% dies with steroids
Pemphigus vulgaris
Intraepithelial separation just above the basal cell layer leaving “row of tombstones”
Acantholsysis with floating Tzanck cells
Positive indirect IF for intercullular IgG, IgM, C3
Pemphigus Vulgaris Histology
Cross-reacting antibodies in lymphoma or leukemia attack desmosomal complex
May precede the discovery of the underlying malignancy
Often fatal.
Paraneoplastic pemphigus
Neoplasia-Induced Pemphigus
Prioons to steroids, 60-80% cases fatal from infections and electrolyte imbalance
Today 5-10% mortality from complications of medications to manage
PV Treatment
Occurs in recipients of allogenic bone marrow transplants
Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD)
HLA matched donor
Hematopoietic stem cells from either bone marrow, peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood
Engrafted cells recognize body as foreign
