Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) is a chronic lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by a monoclonal IgM component secreted by the lymphoplasmacytoid cells. Cutaneous macroglobulinosis (CM), a specific cutaneous manifestation of WM, is a clinical condition that rarely appears on the affected patients. We previously described a patient affected byWM who presented with new painful nodules localized to the soles of the feet and characterized by deposition of IgM paraprotein in the dermis. In this report, we show the successful treatment of this patient and his clinical follow-up after 5 years.

Abstract
Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) is a chronic lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by a monoclonal IgM component secreted by the lymphoplasmacytoid cells. Cutaneous macroglobulinosis (CM), a specific cutaneous manifestation of WM, is a clinical condition that rarely appears on the affected patients. We previously described a patient affected byWM who presented with new painful nodules localized to the soles of the feet and characterized by deposition of IgM paraprotein in the dermis. In this report, we show the successful treatment of this patient and his clinical follow-up after 5 years.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
