Chronic ulcerative stomatitis (CUS). Lichen planus disseminatus, unguium pedis utriusque and pseudopelade

Background: Chronic erosive lesions in the oral cavity are usually difficult to diagnose and treat. Most frequently, the diagnosis is Candida infection, aphtosis, pemphigus or pemphigoid diseases. Chronic ulcerative stomatitis is a common condition of unknown etiology that affects the skin and mucous membranes and has been reported to occur mainly in females over 40 years old. Immunopathological and clinical examinations determine the diagnosis.
