Abstract
The development of oral lesions in erythema multiforme exudativum has been divided
into five distinct stages—macular, bullous, sloughing, pseudo-membranous, and healing.
Each stage is clinically and histologically different and is dependent upon the degree
of lesion development. Evidence has been presented to suggest an intraepithelial rather
than an intradermal origin of the oral bulla of erythema multiforme exudativum. Each
stage has been illustrated by clinical photographs and demonstrated microscopically
to show the progress of the lesions from initial eruption to final healing. Knowledge
of this progression should aid both in diagnosis and in the prediction of the approximate
length of time the patient will have the disease.
