Sažetak

Erythema multiforme is a clinical entity that presents in three different
clinical forms, namely classic, recurrent, or persistent. Persistent erythema
multiforme (PEM) is a rare variant that may be localized in different regions
compared with the classical erythema multiforme, has a continuous course,

and can present in inflammatory clinical forms. PEM was defined as the un-
interrupted persistence of typical or atypical target-like lesions. Data about

its etiology and treatment is obtained from case reports. Herein, we present

the case of a 37-year-old male patient who presented to our outpatient clin-
ic with palmar lesions and with the presence severe oral bullae and ulcers

treated with systemic steroids and dapsone. Due to the rarity of the disease,

reporting this case is expected contribute to the literature and provide evi-
dence that 50 mg dapsone treatment may be used to control PEM.
