A case of herpetiform pemphigus associated with lung cancer.
We describe a case of herpetiform pemphigus associated with lung cancer. Only one other documented association between herpetiform pemphigus and malignancy could be found in the Japanese dermatologic literature. However, it is very difficult to determine whether such an association is coincidence or a true relationship.
