 Autoimmune bullous dermatosis is the general term for the disease caused by dysfunctional intercellular adhesion, which results in the formation of bullae. Some patients with bullous dermatosis have no epidermal lesions and only present with mucosal lesions. These patients undergo endoscopy because of pharyngeal pain or dysphagia, but because of the rarity of the disease, a definitive diagnosis cannot be achieved from the mucosal lesions, and treatment is sometimes delayed. Gastroenterologists are required to have relevant knowledge of autoimmune bullous dermatosis and to conduct an accurate endoscopic diagnosis. We investigated upper gastrointestinal tract lesions in 93 patients with autoimmune bullous dermatosis by performing upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy.

 Patients with autoimmune bullous dermatosis had mucosal lesions in the oropharynx and esophagus, and the discovery rate of these lesions was 46.2%.

 Characteristic lesions included painful irregular ulcers, erosions, and edema of oropharynx; bulla formation or irregular shallow ulcers was also observed. Nikolsky's sign was also present during examination of the oropharynx and esophagus in patients with autoimmune bullous dermatosis, as evidenced in particular by characteristic findings such as the formation of bullae and blood blisters due to contact with the endoscope, epithelial desquamation, bullae and blood blister formation surrounding biopsy sites, as well as epithelial desquamation following abrasion. Gastroenterologists are thus required to have relevant knowledge of autoimmune bullous dermatosis to facilitate early diagnosis.
