ABSTRACT
First described in 1990, paraneoplastic pemphigus is an autoimmune condition that causes considerable morbidity, is resistant to therapy and is frequently fatal. Clinical heterogeneity is being recognized as more cases are reported and the documented auto-antigen profile is also increasing. Target antigens are now known to be not restricted to the skin, suggesting that this condition is part of a paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome.

ABSTRACT
We report a case of persistent depigmented hair regrowth from the site of a patch of alopecia areata. It is well known that hair may regrow unpigmented from a site of alopecia areata; however, it was previously thought that this was temporary, lasting no longer than the first hair cycle.
