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.
坏死性黄色肉芽肿(NXG)给临床医生带来了治疗挑战。全身性NXG的治疗选择有限。一位患者因全身性NXG伴意义未明的单克隆丙种球蛋白病(MGUS)就诊于作者处,MGUS是一种浆细胞发育异常疾病,被认为是多发性骨髓瘤的前驱疾病。该患者接受了来那度胺治疗,来那度胺是沙利度胺的衍生物,对治疗多发性骨髓瘤有效。副蛋白血症的缓解与NXG的缓解相关。
