A case of bullous pemphigoid in a patient with dual cancers, fortuitous or paraneoplastic?

چکیده
Dear Editor, Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering skin condition. It is characterised by the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies specifi c for the hemidesmosomal BP antigens BP230 (BPAg1) and BP 180 (BPAg2). Unlike pemphigus, it is not traditionally recognised as a paraneoplastic phenomenon. As BP becomes increasingly prevalent in our ageing population, it would be important to be on a lookout for paraneoplastic pemphigoid masquerading as BP.
