Abstract
Anti-epiligrin cicatricial pemphigoid is an autoimmune blistering disorder that has recently been associated with the development of solid organ malignancy. We describe a patient with recurrent metastatic prostate carcinoma who was diagnosed with this disorder. We provide a hypothesis as to the relationship between the development of this disease and its possible association with cancer pathogenesis.
