Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) sera react with a number of different proteins, mainly various plakin family proteins [1]. Most PNP cases are associated with different neoplasms, mainly hematological tumors. PV cases are also occasionally associated with neoplasms [2, 3]. Herein, we report a case of mucosal [...]
