Abstract:	INTRODUCTION An association between bullous pemphigoid (BP) and internal malignancy has been suggested. However, no reports have documented a dramatic improvement in BP after surgery for gastric cancer. PRESENTATION OF CASE An 82-year-old Japanese woman was admitted to a local hospital for severe fatigue. On examination, she was diagnosed with BP and gastric cancer. Her BP was resistant to steroid treatment; however, it improved dramatically after surgery for gastric cancer. DISCUSSION In this case, a strong relationship appeared to exist between BP and gastric cancer. CONCLUSION This is the first report of a dramatic improvement in BP after surgery for gastric cancer.Abbreviations: BP, bullous pemphigoid; CRP, C-reactive protein

Keywords:	Resolution Bullous pemphigoid Gastric cancer
