Popis: Abstract We present a series of five cases who presented to our institution with treatment‐refractory mucosal ulceration, all of whom were subsequently diagnosed with paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP). This case series highlights the diagnostic and treatment considerations for PNP – in particular, the steroid‐dependent, recalcitrant, polymorphic manifestations; the combination of histopathological and clinical findings that may overlap with clinically similar diseases, for example, pemphigus vulgaris and lichen planus; the importance of immunopathological findings for its diagnosis, and the need for surveillance and management of life‐threatening bronchiolitis obliterans.
