  • Title: Skin lesions in Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia. Characterization of the cellular infiltrate.
    Author: Bergroth V, Reitamo S, Konttinen YT, Wegelius O.
    Journal: Acta Med Scand; 1981; 209(1-2):129-31. PubMed ID: 6782837.
    Abstract:
    A patient with Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia presenting with numerous red or brownish-red, round, papulous lesions of the skin is reported. Skin biopsy revealed a massive infiltrate of immature lymphatic cells of the dermis down to the subcutaneous fat. Approximately 80% of these cells were positive for intracellular IgM and kappa light chains as shown by the immunoperoxidase method. This finding established the skin lesions as part of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia.
