Idiopathic mimic of paraneoplastic pemphigus in a dog
Abstract
In this case report, a dog with typical clinical and histopathological features of paraneoplastic pemphigus is described. The dog had no evidence of neoplasia upon repeated systemic evaluation and imaging studies. Withdrawal of prior drug administration did not result in a complete clinical remission. Remission was finally maintained with azathioprine every other day with a followup until death (i.e. period of five years). The underlying trigger of paraneoplastic pemphigus was not determined and the case was considered idiopathic.
