Archives of Dermatology
|March 1, 1978
Summary
This study details a case of generalized plane xanthoma and multiple myeloma, revealing a link between lipoprotein-paraprotein complexes and autoimmune hyperlipemia. Treatment normalized lipid levels, but the patient succumbed to myeloma.
Area of Science:
- Immunology
- Oncology
- Dermatology
Background:
- Generalized plane xanthoma and multiple myeloma can coexist.
- Hyperlipemia, characterized by high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, is a significant comorbidity.
- Complexes between serum lipoproteins and immunoglobulins can exhibit cryoglobulin properties.
