ABSTRACT
Scleredema of Buschke is a rare disorder characterized by the development of areas of skin induration which usually resolve spontaneously. It is occasionally associated with a benign gammopathy, and rarely with myelomatosis. We describe a 60-year-old woman with extensive skin changes, who developed IgA myeloma. Unusually, her skin disease did not respond to conventional myeloma therapy. Death occurred as a consequence of the progressive skin disease.
