title: IgG/IgA pemphigus.
abstract: IgG/IgA pemphigus has recently been described in the literature as an overlap of pemphigus vulgaris or pemphigus foliaceus with IgA pemphigus. There has also been some postulation that this IgG/IgA pemphigus may be associated with internal malignancy as well. Our case demonstrates the unique clinical, histopathological, and direct immunofluorescence findings of IgG/IgA pemphigus and further highlights the possibility of association of this disease with internal malignancy.
