Abstract
Anti-laminin-332 mucous membrane pemphigoid is a chronic, subepidermal autoimmune blistering disease with auto-antibodies against laminin-332. Anti-LM-332 mucous membrane pemphigoid has an increased chance of severe involvement of the lar-ynx compared to other forms of mucous membrane pemphigoid. Immunofluorescense biopsy and serum investigations can lead to the correct diagnosis. Patients with anti-LM-332 mucous membrane pemphigoid have an increased risk of malignancy.
