Abstract
• The records of eight patients with pyoderma gangrenosum and monoclonal gammopathy showed that all patients except one had an IgA paraproteinemia. To date, seven patients have had a benign course and multiple myeloma has developed in one. In seven patients, the onset of the pyoderma gangrenosum preceded the detection of the monoclonal gammopathy. The monoclonal gammopathy did not seem to influence the morphologic findings, course, or therapy of the pyoderma gangrenosum. In the one patient with myeloma, treatment of the myeloma caused accelerated healing of the skin lesions.
