Bullous pemphigoid with figurate erythema associated with carcinoma of the bronchus.
A patient with bullous pemphigoid (BP), a figurate erythema resembling erythema gyratum repens and a bronchial carcinoma is reported. It is suggested that this is a genuine association and that when a figurate erythema occurs with BP, an underlying carcinoma should be excluded.
