Forty-six patients were seen over a four-year period because of oral blistering. Of these 26 were thought to have pemphigoid affecting the oral mucosa. The clinical features in these patients are compared with the commonly accepted descriptions and some differences noted. The nomenclature is reviewed and the term 'intermittent mucosal pemphigoid' is suggested to describe a clinical variant in which lesions are few and widely separated in time and which heal without scar formation. The relationship between oral pemphigoid and oral 'blood blisters' is discussed.
