Cicatricial pemphigoid (CP) is a scarring subepithelial mucocutaneous blistering disease characterized by anti-basement membrane zone autoantibodies. Anti-epiligrin CP is an uncommon variant that has been recently characterized. Severe laryngeal involvement is infrequently observed in all forms of CP and has been documented in only 2 patients with anti-epiligrin CP.
