title: Cicatricial pemphigoid confined to the larynx.
abstract: The main features linking and yet distinguishing bullous pemphigoid from cicatricial pemphigoid have been discussed. This report demonstrates the usefulness of direct immunofluorescence study in establishing a diagnosis of cicatricial pemphigoid when lesions are confined to a single and unusual site such as the larynx.
