Abstract

We report a patient with diffuse plane xanthomatosis, acquired palmoplantar keratoderma, and myeloma. Although diffuse plane xanthomatosis is a recognized manifestation of paraproteinaemia, keratoderma is not. However, successful treatment of the myeloma in our patient coincided with a dramatic improvement in the keratoderma, suggesting a genuine association between the two disorders.
