Plasmapheresis in a patient with scleromyxedema.
Publication/Presentation Date
6-1-1987
Abstract
We describe a patient with progressive scleromyxedema who failed to respond to previously described treatment modalities. A trial of plasmapheresis was initiated, but after an initial promising response, his disease continued to progress. The skin involvement appeared to progress even more rapidly after the plasmapheresis was discontinued.
