Abstract

A 73-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of gait disturbance. She had peripheral polyneuropathy which was mainly of the demyelinating type, splenomegaly, a skin change and M protein (IgA-λ). A bone scinti and a CT scan showed a mass lesion in the thoracic vertebra, and a biopsy revealed plasmacytoma. She was diagnosed as Crow-Fukase syndrome, and treated with local radiation therapy. After the treatment, M protein became undetectable, and gait disturbance was improved.
