Their patient, a 58-year-old woman, presented with a cutaneous vasculitis in 1980. In 1983 her vasculitis became purpuric, and she was found to be anemic and have urinary kappa light chains and a monoclonal IgA-kappa band (level, 3400 mg/dL). Her myeloma and skin lesions both showed an initial response to therapy and then recurred simultaneously. Biopsy of the skin lesion showed leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Direct immunofluorescence showed no immunoglobulin or complement. We report a similar...References1. MCMILLENKRUEGERDYER JSG. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis in association with immunoglobulin A myeloma.
