    Waldenström's macroglobulinemia can manifest as skin lesions. Histological examination revealed these lesions were caused by immunoglobulin M (IgM) deposition.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Hematology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by the overproduction of monoclonal IgM antibodies.
    • Cutaneous manifestations in WM are uncommon but can occur, presenting diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A patient with diagnosed WM presented with firm, translucent papules and nodules on the extremities.
    • The clinical appearance of these skin lesions was initially suggestive of cutaneous amyloidosis.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination revealed a homogeneous, eosinophilic material in the upper dermis, surrounding hair follicles.
    • Special stains, electron microscopy, and immunofluorescence confirmed the deposited material to be immunoglobulin M (IgM).

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering IgM deposition in the differential diagnosis of skin lesions in patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
    • Accurate identification of the deposited material is crucial for appropriate patient management and understanding disease-related complications.
