Abstract
BACKGROUND Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP), also called paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome (PAMS), is a rare autoimmune disease with mucocutaneous and multi-organ involvement. PNP/PAMS is typically associated with lymphoproliferative or haematological malignancies, and less frequently with solid malignancies. The mortality rate of PNP/PAMS is elevated owing to the increased risk of severe infections and disease-associated complications, such as bronchiolitis obliterans. OBJECTIVES These guidelines summarize evidence-based and expert-based recommendations (S2k level) for the clinical characterization, diagnosis and management of PNP/PAMS. They have been initiated by the Task Force Autoimmune Blistering Diseases of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology with the contribution of physicians from all relevant disciplines. The degree of consent among all task force members was included. RESULTS Chronic severe mucositis and polymorphic skin lesions are clue clinical characteristics of PNP/PAMS. A complete assessment of the patient with suspected PNP/PAMS, requiring histopathological study and immunopathological investigations, including direct and indirect immunofluorescence, ELISA and, where available, immunoblotting/immunoprecipitation, is recommended to achieve a diagnosis of PNP/PAMS. Detection of anti-envoplakin antibodies and/or circulating antibodies binding to the rat bladder epithelium at indirect immunofluorescence is the most specific tool for the diagnosis of PNP/PAMS in a patient with compatible clinical and anamnestic features. Treatment of PNP/PAMS is highly challenging. Systemic steroids up to 1.5 mg/kg/day are recommended as first-line option. Rituximab is also recommended in patients with PNP/PAMS secondary to lymphoproliferative conditions but might also be considered in cases of PNP/PAMS associated with solid tumours. A multidisciplinary approach involving pneumologists, ophthalmologists and onco-haematologists is recommended for optimal management of the patients. CONCLUSIONS These are the first European guidelines for the diagnosis and management of PNP/PAMS. Diagnostic criteria and therapeutic recommendations will require further validation by prospective studies.

Abstract
We herein report the rare case of a 72-year-old female who presented with paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) and bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) associated with follicular lymphoma (FL), who was successfully treated with obinutuzumab (GA101; G) and bendamustine (B). The patient had severe erosive stomatitis and bilateral conjunctival hyperemia that persisted for more than 6 months. A huge mass was found in the abdominal cavity, and a biopsy revealed grade 1 FL (stage IV). Based on a lip biopsy result, the patient was diagnosed with PNP associated FL. The patient received bendamustine and obinutuzumab (BG) chemotherapy and FL and PNP responded very well, but BO was additionally associated during the course of BG. BO progressed without exacerbation as BG therapy progressed to a 2 year maintenance therapy with G, and combination of azithromycin, inhaled bronchodilator therapy, and corticosteroid. She was followed up at the outpatient department with no pulmonary function decline or FL and PNP recurrence. Our case suggests that BG could be a promising treatment option for PNP and BO.
