“…Approximately 80 cases of MPE have been reported in the English literature, and we analyzed the clinical characteristics of 57 cases [3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33] based on information and articles we found in MEDLINE (table 1). The mean age of MPE patients was 59 years, with similar gender distribution, and the left pleural cavity was more commonly involved.…”

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant neoplasm of plasma cell origin. Pleural effusion may develop in the setting of MM due to various reasons, but myelomatous pleural effusion (MPE) is rare. We report a case of MPE in a patient with advanced MM. A 76-year-old woman with MM was admitted to hospital because of dyspnea. Chest X-ray showed right-sided pleural effusion. Protein electrophoresis of the pleural fluid showed monoclonal protein, and cytology demonstrated monoclonal plasma cells. Hospice care was implemented, and the patient died one month later. We present an analysis of the clinical characteristics of 57 MPE cases reported in the English literature. Our review revealed that MPE patients had poor overall survival irrespective of whether MPE develops in the course of their disease or presents as the initial manifestation of MM. Based on this analysis, MPE is a poor prognostic factor, and aggressive treatment should be considered, especially for patients with early-onset MPE.

“…Apart from neoplastic disorders, AI has been associated with a variety of diseases including infections, autoimmune/inflammatory and endocrine/metabolic diseases as well as nutritional conditions, medications and others (table 1) [1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]. However, malignancy accounts for half of the reported cases [2], most commonly Hodgkin's disease, representing about 70% of the cases [1, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15].…”

Acquired Ichthyosis Triggered by an Osseous Hemangiopericytoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

et al. 2014

Ichthyoses are a heterogeneous group of cutaneous keratinization disorders that can be congenital or acquired. Apart from neoplastic disorders, the acquired form of ichthyosis (AI) has been associated with a variety of diseases including infections, autoimmune/inflammatory and endocrine/metabolic diseases as well as nutritional conditions, medications and others. However, malignancy accounts for half of the reported cases, most commonly including lymphoproliferative disorders. We present a case of AI as a paraneoplastic skin manifestation of a primary, osseous hemangiopericytoma (HP) accompanied by multiple liver metastases. We also review the literature and discuss the necessity of investigating underlying diseases, especially malignancy, when adult-onset ichthyosis arises.

“…The symptoms consist of pityroid and rhomboid scales on the skin with severe dryness [6,7]. Acquired ichthyosis (AI) in contrast to the congenital type is not a syndrome but a clinical sign of many systemic diseases, including malignant, infectious, autoimmune and endocrine disorders, as well as metabolic conditions and medications (Table 2) [8].…”

A b s t r a c tAcquired ichthyosis is a known paraneoplastic sign of lymphoproliferative malignancies, but ichthyosiform eruption can also constitute a rare atypical variant of mycosis fungoides. Ichthyosiform mycosis fungoides differs from acquired ichthyosis associated with mycosis fungoides in histopathology. Histological pictures of paraneoplastic ichthyosis usually do not show any aspect related to malignancy in the skin. In both cases thinning of the granular layer and decrease of filaggrin in that layer are observed. We describe here 2 patients with mycosis fungoides, who were treated in the Department of Dermatology, the first one with ichthyosiform mycosis fungoides and the other one with acquired ichthyosis with coexisting mycosis fungoides.K Ke ey y w wo or rd ds s: : mycosis fungoides, ichthyosis, paraneoplastic syndrome.
