A Nonacantholytic Bullous Dermatosis Associated with Multiple Myeloma

Dermatitis Herpetiformis Duhring in a Patient with Carcinoma of the Prostate

“…In our case, as well as in those report ed by Degos et al [12], Kingery and Montes [21], Bernstein [5], Traub [34], Beerman [4], Ue Acevedo and Monteiro [1], Rivière et al [25], Carli [8], Keim [20], Duperrat [13] and Andreev [2], the dermatosis could be defined as a typical D. h.

U nfortunately no biopsy was performed and it is not clear whether the eruption was a true pemphigus vulgaris, coinciding with a carcinoma of the stomach, or a pemphigus-like dermatosis.…”
