Histologic and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed that cutaneous lesions were related to specific infiltration with neoplastic cells.

文摘Specific skin lesions are rare in Waldenstrm’s macroglobulinemia (WM). We report a case of a 58- year old man who presented macules, papules, and an erythema of the trunk with the “ deck-chair” sign revealing the relapse of WM.

Remission of both skin lesions and immunological abnormalities was obtained with oral cyclophosphamide.
