Paraneoplastic pemphigus: a report of two cases

Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) seems to be a separate autoimmune mucocutaneous disease. Forty-five cases have been reported. Almost all cases of PNP are associated with a tumour, mostly with haematologic malignancies. Pemphigus-like autoantibodies are detected by direct and by indirect immunofluores...

Zusammenfassung:	Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) seems to be a separate autoimmune mucocutaneous disease. Forty-five cases have been reported. Almost all cases of PNP are associated with a tumour, mostly with haematologic malignancies. Pemphigus-like autoantibodies are detected by direct and by indirect immunofluorescence studies. These autoantibodies appear to be directed against a novel set of autoantigens. Two cases are presented with clinical, histologic, immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation findings characteristic of PNP.
