RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Pemphigus and pemphigoid disorders produce blistering cutaneous lesions. Earlier case reports state that nail involvement is uncommon in these autoimmune blistering disorders. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To study nail changes in autoimmune blistering disorders. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted where 40 cases and 40 controls were evaluated for nail changes. RESULTS: Nail changes were seen in 72.5% of cases and 17.5% of controls. The most common nail findings were paronychia and onychorrhexis. LIMITATIONS: Small sample size; short study duration; nail biopsy could not be done. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that the inflammatory nature of the blistering cutaneous disease is often reflected conspicuously in the nails.

Hemangiomas are neoplastic proliferations of endothelial cells, characterized by a period of growth after birth, and eventual spontaneous involution. The course can be uneventful with spontaneous resolution; or it may be marked by complications such as infection, bleeding, ulceration, visual defects and feeding difficulties. Apart from these, rare life-threatening complications such as congestive heart failure and consumption coagulopathy may also be seen. Although hemangiomas commonly occur in the head and neck region, intraoral occurrence is relatively rare. A port wine stain is defined as a macular telangiectatic patch which is present at birth and remains throughout life. They may be localized or extensive, affecting a whole limb. This article reports a rare case of co-occurrence of port wine stain with intraoral hemangioma.
