We report a case of 39-year-old female patient with paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) associated with thymoma treated with rituximab plus corticosteroids and methotrexate. After rituximab therapy for 8 weeks, oral ulcerations had cured, lesions on the trunk and limbs improved. Rituximab may be useful for PNP therapy, but further studies are necessary to confirm this hypothesis.
我们报告了一例 39 岁女性副肿瘤天疱疮(PNP)合并胸腺瘤患者,采用利妥昔单抗联合皮质类固醇和甲氨蝶呤治疗。利妥昔单抗治疗 8 周后,口腔溃疡已愈合,躯干和四肢的皮损改善。利妥昔单抗可能对 PNP 的治疗有效,但需要进一步的研究来证实这一假设。
