Schnitzler syndrome (SS) is a rare autoinflammatory disorder characterized by a constellation of symptoms that include chronic urticarial rash, recurrent fever, arthralgias/arthritis, and monoclonal gammopathy, typically involving immunoglobulin M (IgM). However, cases with overlapping clinical features but lacking specific criteria fall under the umbrella of Schnitzler-like syndromes. This case report describes a 40-year-old male with Schnitzer-like syndrome and underscores the diagnostic complexities and therapeutic challenges of Schnitzer-like syndrome with IgG kappa monoclonal gammopathy, highlighting the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach and targeted therapy.
施尼茨勒综合征(SS)是一种罕见的自身炎症性疾病,其特征是一系列症状,包括慢性荨麻疹皮疹、反复发热、关节痛/关节炎和单克隆丙种球蛋白病,通常涉及免疫球蛋白M(IgM)。然而,具有重叠临床特征但缺乏特定标准的病例属于施尼茨勒样综合征的范畴。本病例报告描述了一名患有施尼茨勒样综合征的40岁男性,并强调了伴有IgG κ单克隆丙种球蛋白病的施尼茨勒样综合征的诊断复杂性和治疗挑战,突出了全面诊断方法和靶向治疗的必要性。
