Abstract
Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) in adults is characterized by sub epidermal bullae associated with a linear deposition of IgA at the bas ement membrane zone. Its cause is unclear, although it appears to have an immune-mediated basis. The development of LABD in a cancer patient undergoing immunotherapy has been described in the French literature. We describe a similar case of LABD arising in a patient while undergo ing interleukin-2 immunotherapy for renal cell carcinoma.
