Mucous membrane pemphigoid-associated paronychia with onychomadesis

Authors: Salim Alkeraye, Sarah F. Alsukait

Published in: BMC Dermatology | Issue 1/2019

Abstract

Background

Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is an autoimmune blistering disease that is notoriously difficult to treat. Nail involvement in MMP is rare.

Case presentation

We report on a 58 years old man with severe MMP who presented with onychomadesis.

Conclusion

To our knowledge, mucous membrane pemphigoid associated paronychia and onychomadesis have not been reported before. We believe it is important for dermatologists to be aware of this entity.
