In December 2013, a 70-year-old man came to our service for nodules covered by a thick hyperkeratotic layer on the soles of his feet. The lesions were extremely painful to pressure, to the extent of limiting his daily activities. They had appeared about 2 years earlier and were treated as viral warts with keratolytic agents, without success. The patient's history showed that he had been followed by the hematology service for 15 years with periodic clinical evaluations and no therapy for a diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM).

Abstract
In December 2013, a 70-year-old man came to our service for nodules covered by a thick hyperkeratotic layer on the soles of his feet. The lesions were extremely painful to pressure, to the extent of limiting his daily activities. They had appeared about 2 years earlier and were treated as viral warts with keratolytic agents, without success. The patient's history showed that he had been followed by the hematology service for 15 years with periodic clinical evaluations and no therapy for a diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
