Résumé

Type 2 scleredema on the background of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a rare and progressive connective tissue disorder with very few cases reported to date. It is characterized by chronic and diffuse induration of the skin that begins in the upper back and neck and progresses proximally to distally, involving the shoulders, trunk, and arms; the hands are usually spared. Here, we present an unusual case of long-standing scleredema that progressed to involve the hands and fingers. This case was further complicated by new-onset Raynaud's phenomenon, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, the development of a plasmacytoma, and eventual progression to multiple myeloma. We highlight the differential diagnoses for his complex presentation, the workup that was completed, and current treatment options.
