- Bullous pemphigoid (BP) and malignant acanthosis nigricans (AN) were observed in a patient with gastric adenocarcinoma, but they had different behaviors in relation to cancer progression.
- BP did not show any correlation with the relapse and remission of gastric cancer, while the malignant AN did reflect the paraneoplastic effects of the cancer.
- The case highlights the unusual coexistence of BP and malignant AN, which has not been documented before in the context of malignancy.

Article Synopsis
- * Three unique cases of breast cancer skin metastasis are described: a 52-year-old with an erythematous papule near a surgical scar, a 38-year-old with multiple skin nodules after chemotherapy and surgery, and a 42-year-old with erythema over the breast.
- * The cases underscore the importance of careful skin examinations for early detection of rare skin symptoms in breast cancer patients, as they often present differently than the more common chest wall nodules.
