Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia can rarely present initially with skin lesions like nodules and plaques. This rare cutaneous presentation occurred without any systemic symptoms in the reported case.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia (WM) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder.
  • Cutaneous manifestations in WM are typically secondary to hyperviscosity or immunoglobulin deposition.
  • Direct skin infiltration by malignant lymphocytes is an uncommon feature of WM.

Observation:

  • A case of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia is presented.
  • The patient exhibited infiltrated skin nodules and plaques as the primary manifestation.
  • Notably, the patient lacked any systemic symptoms at presentation.

Findings:

  • This case highlights a rare initial presentation of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia.
  • The cutaneous findings were due to direct infiltration of neoplastic lymphoid cells.

  • The absence of systemic symptoms at presentation is unusual for WM.

    • Implications:

    • Recognizing rare cutaneous presentations is crucial for early diagnosis of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia.
    • This case expands the understanding of WM's clinical spectrum.
    • Dermatologists and hematologists should consider WM in the differential diagnosis of unexplained skin infiltrates.
