A 54-year-old man is described, suffering from adult linear IgA bullous dermatosis with involvement of the bronchial mucosa. The main respiratory symptoms were recurring haemoptysis, episodic narrowing of the airways and persistent non-specific bronchial hyperreactivity. On CT scan the trachea had a saber-sheath shape with tracheal ring calcification. Endoscopically the tracheo-bronchial mucosa was diffusely purpuric and hyperaemic and also showed pale elevated plaques, bullous lesions and ulceration. Histological examination of biopsies of skin and nasal and tracheo-bronchial mucosa showed subepithelial blister formation associated with an accumulation of polymorphonuclear cells at the epithelial-subepithelial junction, and linear IgA deposits on direct immunofluorescence.

A 65-year-old male with a history of smoking since 30 years presented with breathlessness, hemoptysis, multiple swellings all over the body, and weakness in September 2010 at our hospital. Clinically, a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with cutaneous lymphoma or soft tissue tumor was made. Chest X-ray (CXR) and computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a neoplastic lesion in the right lung with secondary cavitation. Biopsy of the cutaneous nodules showed metastatic deposits from squamous cell carcinoma. Metastatic skin cancer is a relatively rare complication of internal malignancy. The clinical features of metastatic skin disease vary enormously. They may present as erysipeloid, sclerodermoid, alopecia neoplastica or in an inflammatory or bullous form or as multiple nodules as in our case. A high index of suspicion for metastatic deposits is required in an elderly male patient who is a known case of lung cancer or even one who is a chronic smoker and presents with such cutaneous lesions.
