Introduction:
An association between bullous pemphigoid (BP) and internal malignancy has been suggested. However, no reports have documented a dramatic improvement in BP after surgery for gastric cancer.
Presentation Of Case:
An 82-year-old Japanese woman was admitted to a local hospital for severe fatigue. On examination, she was diagnosed with BP and gastric cancer. Her BP was resistant to steroid treatment; however, it improved dramatically after surgery for gastric cancer.
Discussion:
In this case, a strong relationship appeared to exist between BP and gastric cancer.
Conclusion:
This is the first report of a dramatic improvement in BP after surgery for gastric cancer.
