The coexistence in the same patient of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (a rare, autoimmune, acquired mucocutaneous blistering disorder) and multiple myeloma (a plasma cell neoplasm) is extremely uncommon. We describe a patient in whom both of these diseases occurred simultaneously. Intravenous immunoglobulins were used to treat both diseases.
