A case report of bullous pemphigoid in a patient with a primary multiple tumor of the bladder, prostate and tongue

Abstract

The development of some skin diseases in cancer patients, called paraneoplastic dermatoses, for long time has been the area of interest of various specialists. A feature of the course of such diseases is the difficulty of making a diagnosis, a protracted course, and difficulties in selecting therapy. One example of such a skin lesion associated with a tumor process is bullous pemphigoid. Despite the fact that it is considered as a facultative paraneoplastic dermatosis, there has recently been some increase in the number of patients with this diagnosis. A case report describes a combined bullous-erosive lesion of the skin and oral mucosa in a patient with synchronous-metachronous cancer. Of particular interest are: anamnesis and a bright clinic of the disease, the presence of multiple primary tumors: bladder, prostate and tongue in one patient. The article provides an extended history of the disease, an analysis of the clinical diagnostic search, and a differential diagnosis.
