Abstract
We describe a patient in whom pemphigus foliaceus development after utaneou s squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) metastasized to regional lymph nodes. Immun ologic analysis revealed that production Of antidesmoglein 1 autoantibodies started when SCC metastasized, and the SCC expressed desmoglein 1, suggest ing a pathogenic role of metastasized SCC in developing pemphigus foliaceus .
