Popis: The combination of paraneoplastic pemphigus and prostate cancer is extremely unusual and has not been reported yet. Paraneoplastic pemphigus is caused by tumor-induced autoantibodies, which cause damage to the skin and mucosa. The essential treatment is active tumor control. Our patient received a robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and glucocorticoid therapy to improve his condition and relieve his skin lesions.
