ANZOLA, Laura Charry; CUELLAR, Isabel Cristina; CAMAYO, Tatiana Valeria  y  POLANIA, Maria Daniela. Atypical lichen myxedematosus associated to multiple myeloma. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2022, vol.103, n.4, pp.41-50. ISSN 1851-300X.

Lichen myxedematous (LM) represents a group of rare skin diseases, which is found within the chronic mucinoses. Previously described as localized scleromyxedema, however, unlike localized scleromyxedema, it usually does not have systemic involvement. Among the subtypes, there is atypical LM, which is infrequent and there are few reported cases associated with multiple myeloma (MM). We present the case of a male patient with MM positive for lambda chains, with acute onset clinical picture, who was diagnosed with atypical LM; he received management with topical corticosteroid with improvement of the lesions after one month of treatment.
