Abstract
We report a case of scleredema adultorum (Buschke's disease) associated with an IgA kappa monoclonal hypergammaglobulinaemia. A significant improvement in the skin was obtained with electron-beam therapy. Scleredema would appear to be linked to monoclonal hypergammaglobulinaemia, but the relationship between the skin disorder and the immunoglobulin abnormality remains to be elucidated.Keywords
