Paraproteinaemia (IgGkappa) was observed in a 68 year-old patient with erythema elevatum diutinum. The association of this skin disease with paraproteinaemia as already reported by other authors may indicate a pathogenetic relationship.
Clinical and laboratory findings of four patients with Sezary syndrome and monoclonal gammopathy are presented. In the literature five cases with the association of these symptoms have been reported. Among the authors' series of 13 patients with Sezary syndrome, monoclonal gammopathy was observed far more often than could be expected from its natural incidence. It appears likely that monoclonal gammopathy is related to Sezary syndrome.Cancer 48:788-792, 1981.
