We report a 63-year-old patient with an IgA-kappa
multiple myeloma
in complete remission who developed necrotic lesions on both ears and papular, purpuric lesions on his legs and cheeks. Initial differential diagnosis included perniosis and skin necrosis secondary to interferon treatment but subsequent investigation revealed cryofibrinogenaemia as the underlying cause.
Stanozolol
therapy, 2 mg/12 h, achieved a complete clearance of the skin lesions. Cryofibrinogenaemia is a disease which can be under-diagnosed unless it is considered in the work-up of a patient with thrombotic skin lesions.
Stanozolol
is useful as first line therapy for this disorder.
