Oral manifestations of linear IgA disease.
A case of linear IgA disease with prominent oral lesions is presented. Oral manifestations in linear IgA disease have been reported as minor clinical presentations. In our patient the oral manifestations predominated and were the only clinical manifestations for 5 years before the skin lesions appeared. Linear IgA disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of bullous dermatoses with oral lesions.
