Sequels can be observed in toxic epidermal necrolysis. Persistence of mucosal ulcerations is not a classical complication of this disease. We describe two case reports of mucous membrane ulcerations (oral and genital) which have remained many months after the acute phase of toxic epidermal necrolysis. ⋯ Complications of toxic epidermal necrolysis mainly occur at the acute phase. The most well documented sequelae are ophthalmological lesions. The most frequent cutaneous sequelae are cutaneous pigmentary changes and nail dystrophy. We report two observations of persistent mucous membrane erosions many months after the acute phase of toxic epidermal necrolysis. The pathophysiology of this complication, is rarely described and still remains unclear.
