ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 69 years old female patient diagnosed 4 months ago with lung cancer and 1 month with the emergence of tense blisters on the lower limbs and the diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid. The simultaneous occurrence of bullous pemphigoid and malignancies is common but has not been fully elucidated whether this is coincidental pathologies or have any relationship of cause and effect.
