“…In more than half of the cases, the thymoma preceded pemphigus (mean 89 months); in 22%, the thymoma was detected after the diagnosis of pemphigus (mean 25 months); and in only one case were the disorders diagnosed simultaneously. The association of pemphigus, thymoma, and autoimmune disease was also described (59–63). Myasthenia gravis is by far the most common associated autoimmune disease.…”

“…The effect of thymic ablation on the course of the skin disease was variable. Pemphigus vulgaris and erythematosus were equally common in the setting of thymoma, each occurring in 44% of cases, and pemphigus foliaceus was seen in 11% of cases (59–63). Sixty‐seven percent of patients had benign thymoma, and only two had malignant thymoma.…”

The skin plays a critical role in the detection of internal malignances. Cutaneous signs of these disorders afford clinicians opportunities for early diagnosis and treatment. We aim to succinctly review the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of selected cutaneous paraneoplastic diseases. Skin disorders that may be associated with paraneoplastic syndromes include: cutaneous metastases, tripe palms, Sweet's syndrome, glucagonoma, Paget's disease and extramammary Paget's disease, acanthosis nigricans, Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, basal cell nevus syndrome, Bazex syndrome (acrokeratosis paraneoplastica), carcinoid syndrome, Cowden's disease(multiple hamartoma syndrome), dermatomyositis, erythema gyratum repens, ichthyosis aquisita, von Recklinghausen's disease, pityriasis rotunda, pyoderma gangrenosum, Quincke's edema (angioedema and paraneoplastic uricaria), paraneoplastic pemphigus, Degos' disease, superior vena cava syndrome, Werner's syndrome, diffuse normolipemic plane xanthomas, and yellow nail syndrome. Treatment for these disorders depends on the nature and anatomic distribution of the primary neoplastic process.

“…Histologic findings are vacuolar interface changes, keratino‐cyte necrosis, and intraepidermal acantholysis. Malignancies associated with PNP are lympho‐proliferative disorders such as non‐Hodgkin B‐cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, Hodgkin disease, T‐cell lymphoma, Castleman's tumor, and thymoma 28,29 . PNP is associated with a high mortality rate (75%–80%) 30…”
