Abstract
This is a case of paraneoplastic pemphigus of unusual clinical and biological expression: exclusively mucosal involvement with obliterating bronchiolitis, explained by the isolated presence of antibodies recognizing envoplakin, without anti-desmoglein. The transformation of the Castleman tumor into a sarcoma may have unmasked intra-cellular antigens (plakins), initiating the specific immune reaction.
