摘要
We report acute bullous pemphigoid occurring in an elderly female patient in whom abdominal sonography and computed tomography (CT) examinations revealed the presence of occult hepatic and splenic metastatic deposits from a primary pancreatic carcinoma. In the majority of cases bullous pemphigoid is a self limiting auto-immune disorder occurring in the absence of systemic disease. An association with visceral malignancy has been described by previous authors(1-4) but the role of computed tomography and sonography in diagnosing occult malignancy and the subgroup of patients with pemphigoid in whom this should be undertaken has not been highlighted.
