Paraneoplastic Pemphigus Presenting as Mild Cutaneous Features of Pemphigus Foliaceus and Lichenoid Stomatitis with Antidesmoglein 1 Antibodies

چکیده
Herein, we report a case of paraneoplastic pemphigus with mild skin features of pemphigus foliaceus and lichenoid stomatitis associated with B-cell lymphoma. A 49-year-old man presented with scattered blisters and erosions on the trunk along with mucosal blisters and erosions. Skin biopsy showed subcorneal acantholytic bulla and oral mucosal biopsy demonstrated lichenoid dermatitis. Direct immunofluorescence showed cell surface deposits of IgG and C3. Indirect immunofluorescence identified circulating IgG autoantibodies to the cell surfaces of normal human skin and also on the transitional epithelium of rat bladder. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using recombinant baculoproteins showed positive antidesmoglein 1 autoantibodies (index 46) but negative antidesmoglein 3 autoantibodies (index 8). Immunoblot analysis using normal human epidermal extract detected BP230 and the 190 kDa periplakin, while immunoprecipitation using radiolabeled cultured keratinocyte immunoprecipitated BP230 and the 210 kDa envoplakin. We consider that the skin lesion was produced by humoral immunity whereas the oral lesion was produced by cellular immunity.

Frequency of shifts over time in the profile of antidesmoglein antibodies in pemphigus vulgaris.
T he clinical features of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) are related to the presence and profile of antidesmoglein 3 (anti-dsg3) and antidesmoglein 1 (anti-dsg1) antibodies. Anti-dsg3 is associated with mucosal PV; the concurrent presence of anti-dsg3 and antidsg1, with mucocutaneous disease; and anti-dsg1 alone, with pemphigus foliaceus (PF). Shifts over time in the pattern of anti-dsg antibodies fro...

Journal Compilation © 2012 Acta Dermato-Venereologica. ISSN 0001-5555 Pemphigus is an autoimmune mucocutaneous bullous disease characterized by auto-antibodies against cell surface antigens of epidermal keratinocytes. Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF) are the major subtypes. Several other variants have been proposed, including pemphigus erythematosus, pemphigus vegetans, pemp...

OBJECTIVE To examine the frequency of antidesmoglein 1 (Dsg1) and antidesmoglein 3 (Dsg3) IgA autoantibodies in IgA pemphigus. DESIGN We developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay against recombinant Dsg1 and Dsg3 to detect IgA autoantibodies. PATIENTS Twenty-two patients with IgA pemphigus were studied. Among them, 10 patients had subcorneal pustular dermatosis type, 9 patients had int...

These confirmatory reports have verified all the essential features of the disease that was first described. Mucosal ulceration in the form of intractable stomatitis is the most constant clinical feature of the disease. In no case to-date has this been absent. Cutaneous manifestations including blisters, lichenoid eruption or erythema multiforme like lesions are highly variable. These can chang...
