Abstract
An association between bullous pemphigoid and internal malignant neoplasms has been reported by many authors, primarily in case report formats. Stone and Schroeter, however, compared cases of bullous pemphigoid with age and sex-matched control patients with contact dermatitis and psoriasis and found no evidence of an increased association between malignant neoplasms and bullous pemphigoid. A few cases of bullous pemphigoid occurring after radiation therapy for malignant neoplasms have been reported. A case of bullous pemphigoid which occurred after radiation therapy for squamous carcinoma of the cervix is presented. The interactive intervention of a hospice interdisciplinary team was crucial to the care and resolution of this patient's dermatological condition. Medical, psychological, and social aspects of the case are discussed.
