| | Benign mucous membrane pemphigoid |
 | | The membranes of the mouth, eyes, larynx, pharynx and genital region may all be affected, but conjunctival mucosal involvement is likely the most severe problem because of the propensity for scar formation and eventual blindness. | | | The effect may be quite localized, as circulating autoantibodies are not present in a large proportion of affected individuals, or are present only at low titers using indirect immunofluorescence techniques. | | | Mucous membrane pemphigoid: treatment experience at two institutions. |

| | Mucous membrane plasmacytosis: A case report and review of the literature |
| | The authors hypothesize that, although the inciting factor of the plasma-cell infiltrate is unknown, it is plausible that similar mechanisms are involved in both the mucosal and skin plasma-cell infiltrate conditions. | | | When appearing on the lips and gums, patients complain of sore, swollen lips and gums. | | | The best treatment for mucous membrane plasmacytosis is also unclear, with inconsistent data from trials with corticosteroids, antibiotics, radiation, ablative therapy, and surgical excision. |

| | Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid |
| | In an attempt to clarification and combining the molecular aspects with the clinical presentation of those diseases some authors have proposed the general term of "Immune mediated subepithelial blistering diseases of mucous membranes". | | | The clinical oral manifestations of any of these disorders are essentially similar and their proper typing is only achieved by complex laboratory testing which include immunofluorescence as the basic procedure. | | | Recent advances in molecular pathology have lead to the discovery of various target antigens that are responsible for various blistering diseases, some of which affect the oral mucous membranes. |
