Abstract:
The details of a patient with disseminated scleromyxedema related to multiple myeloma are presented. Investigation demonstrated extensive accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the skin, bone marrow and the small bowel submucosa. The latter finding is a most unusual manifestation of scleromyxedema and appeared to correlate with the patient's symptoms on presentation.
