Description

The occurrence of skin metastasis in patient with multiple myeloma is considered to be a poor prognostic sign. We report a 54-year-old man who was diagnosed with IgG-κ type multiple myeloma 8 months ago. He visited our department for several tumors on his head and trunk. A histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of metastases of multiple myeloma. The tumors regressed after combined chemotherapy and regional radiotherapy, but multiple skin tumors appeared despite the treatments. Finally he died 3 months after the initial diagnosis of skin metastasis. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2015 ; 30 : 44-48]
