Abstract

Paraneoplastic vasculitis is a part of secondary vasculitis, the hematological neoplasm, such as lymphoma or myelodysplastic syndrome, which is most frequently observed. However, in multiple myeloma, cutaneous vasculitis is a rare complication, particularly as an initial clinical symptom. We report one case where a purplish reticulated patch on the lower extremity and an ear lobe skin necrotic change developed in a rheumatoid arthritis patient. He was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and cutaneous vasculitis.

Keywords asculitis, Multiple myeloma, Rheumatoid arthritis

COVER PICTURE
Ancestry-driven pathways for SLE-risk SNP-associated genes. The ancestry-driven key signaling pathways in Asians, Europeans, and African Americans were analyzed by enrichr (https://maayanlab.cloud/Enrichr/#libraries) using non-HLA SNP-associated genes. SLE: systemic lupus erythematosus, SNP: single-nucleotide polymorphism, JAK–STAT: janus kinase–signal transducers and activators of transcription, IFN: interferon gamma.
