  • Title: Paraneoplastic pemphigus associated with non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma and good response to prednisone.
    Author: Martínez De Pablo MI, Iranzo P, Mascaró JM, Llambrich A, Baradad M, Herrero C.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 2005; 85(3):233-5. PubMed ID: 16040408.
    Abstract:
    Paraneoplastic pemphigus is a life-threatening autoimmune bullous disease associated with neoplasia, generally of lymphoid origin. Immunosuppressive therapy is often disappointing and there are only a few reports of patients surviving more than 2 years. These cases were generally associated with benign neoplasms. We report here the case of a patient with paraneoplastic pemphigus associated with non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma who had a surprisingly good response to systemic corticosteroids and remains free of lesions more than 3 years later despite progression of her neoplasm.
