Antiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a rare, small-vessel vasculitis that affects the capillary beds of the kidneys and lungs. Although exceedingly rare, several case reports have described anti-GBM disease with a concurrent cancer diagnosis, suggesting a possible correlation between these 2 conditions. Herein, we describe the first known case to our knowledge of a woman in her early 60s with simultaneous anti-GBM disease and clear cell renal cell carcinoma, in which the tumor was thought to have been the substrate for anti-GBM disease.

Autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs), presenting cutaneous and/or mucosal bullous lesions, are classified into pemphigus and pemphigoid diseases. A longtime observation for complicated AIBD cases is rarely reported. In this study, serum samples of one AIBD patient were collected at seven different time points during the disease course including a relapse, which were examined by our conventional and newly developed methods for the detection of autoantibodies.
