Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare cause of oral ulceration. A 34 year old male presented with a three week history of severe oral ulceration which was initially treated as aphthous ulceration. However, he failed to improve and a mucosal biopsy was performed. Histology and immunostaining confirmed pemphigus vulgaris.
