Abstract
Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) or paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome (PAMS) is a life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease commonly associated with lymphoproliferative neoplasms. This article focuses on current management strategies in PNP/PAMS, and reported instances of their treatment successes and failures. Due to the rarity of the condition and the high rates of treatment failure, no randomized control trials exist to guide the evidence-based treatment of this condition; all evidence to date on the efficacy of therapeutic modalities has been gained from individual case reports, small case series, and expert recommendations.Entities:
