Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBSERVATIONS: CONCLUSIONS: The association of PH with a thoracic malignant neoplasm has been reported in only 4 previous cases, and the neoplasm could be responsible for the unusual immunologic profile in the patient described herein. To our knowledge, this is the first report of PH with an associated neoplasm in which only anti- desmoglein 3 antibody was detected.
