MANIFESTAÇÕES DE PÊNFIGO VULGAR NA CAVIDADE BUCAL - RELATO DE CASO.

Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune disease that can present initial manifestations in the oral cavity, and can also affect the skin, when it does not have adequate treatment and diagnosis. This paper aims to present a clinical case report in a 43-yearold patient, attended at the Dental Clinic of UNIPAR, Umuarama - Paraná complaining of pain in the gingival and mucous region due to the presence of ulcerations resulting from the rupture of blisters that emerged two months ago. Biopsy was performed and the histopathological result confirmed the diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris. The patient obtained multidisciplinary treatment with the dental and medical team, obtained an improvement in her clinical condition and abandoned the treatment. After three months without taking any medication, the patient returned with a worsening of her clinical condition, reporting pain during swallowing, recurrence of ulcerations in the oral mucosa, hematemesis, being hospitalized urgently, receiving doses of the corticosteroid medication intravenously. After 12 months of multidisciplinary follow-up, the patient had complete remission of the oral lesions and is controlled for the manifestations of pemphigus vulgaris. This clinical case report shows the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of the manifestations of autoimmune diseases such as pemphigus vulgaris, thus improving the quality of life of patients.
