Description
Mizuho Namba and colleagues present a 2026 case of blistering skin disease that kept returning after breast cancer care. Their patient, a woman aged 74, had surgery for cancer of the left breast, then radiation and hormone therapy. Blisters first rose on the treated breast about a month after radiation ended.
At first the rash was read as radiation skin damage, and steroid creams cleared it. Later flares spread to a limb and the back, and skin tests showed immune deposits along the base of the skin, a sign of a blistering illness driven by the immune system. Oral steroid pills settled each flare, and later blood tests found raised levels of an antibody tied to a blister target in skin.
