title: Benign mucous membrane pemphigoid in association with internal malignancy.
abstract: A patient with benign mucous membrane pemphigoid was found to have metastatic carcinoma of the lung. With so few similar case reports in the literature, the possible association of this blistering disorder with internal malignancy cannot be disclaimed totally, as appears to be the case for bullous pemphigoid which has been studied much more extensively.
