Paraneoplastic Bullous Pemphigoid: Myth or Reality? A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Dermatology Research - Year 2020, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune sub epidermal blistering disorder. In the literature, several cases of pemphigoid associated with malignancies were reported. The association of bullous pemphigoid with cancer is still controversial. Moreover, the incidence of paraneoplastic dermatological manifestations is very low, and the incidence of paraneoplastic bullous pemphigoid is even lower. We report a 56-year-old man with paraneoplastic bullous pemphigoid which helps to discover an urothelial malignant tumor.
