| Author: | Sirunya Silapunt MD and Susan Y. Chon MD |
| Abstract: | Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG) presents a therapeutic challenge to clinicians. Generalized NXG has limited treatment options. A
patient presented to the authors with generalized NXG associated with monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS),
a plasma cell dyscrasia considered to be a precursor to multiple myeloma.
The patient was treated with lenalidomide, a derivative of thalidomide with efficacy in treatment of multiple myeloma. Resolution of paraproteinemia was associated with resolution of NXG. |
