Abstract

© 2018, Sociedad Medica de Santiago. All rights reserved. An assortment of clinical and laboratory abnormalities may occur as paraneoplastic syndromes in lymphomas. Rheumatological and dermatological manifestations such as paraneoplastic arthritis and pyoderma gangrenosum must be underscored. We report a 28 years old woman who developed pyoderma gangrenosum and two years later presented with arthritis of knees and ankles associated with panniculitis interpreted as erythema induratum that was pathologically confirmed. She developed a reactivation of pyoderma gangrenosum, that was refractory to treatment. Complementary studies showed a pulmonary nodule and a right paravertebral mass with involvement of the psoas muscle. Biopsies of both masses and a new pathological skin study demonstrated a large B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
