Improvement of scleredema associated with IgA multiple myeloma after chemotherapy

J A Pujol et al. Clin Exp Dermatol. 1995 Mar.

Abstract

The presence of a monoclonal gammopathy in patients with chronic scleredema is a recently described, unusual association of unknown significance. There have been very occasional reports of multiple myeloma in such patients. We now report a patient with long-standing scleredema who developed an IgA-kappa multiple myeloma. Once chemotherapy for the myeloproliferative disorder was instituted, scleredema improved significantly, suggesting a pathogenetic link between the two conditions.
