Abstract
A 67-year-old man who had necrobiotic xanthogranuloma associated with paraproteinemia is described. He was a human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carrier who had a high titer of circulating anti-HTLV-1 antibodies and neurologic abnormalities that suggested HTLV-1-associated myelopathy. The patient's necrobiotic xanthogranuloma and neurologic symptoms improved after he received four 5-day courses of melphalan, 2 mg/day, and prednisolone, 20 mg/day, at 4-week intervals.
