    TLDR Skin conditions in multiple myeloma patients vary with the timing of bone marrow transplants.
    The document "Myeloma, Paraproteinemias, and the Skin" from 1986 discussed the various cutaneous manifestations associated with myeloma and paraproteinemias. It highlighted the relationship between skin conditions and underlying hematologic disorders, such as multiple myeloma and other dysproteinemias. The paper reviewed cases and literature on conditions like amyloidosis, scleromyxedema, and necrobiotic xanthogranuloma, emphasizing the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges posed by these skin manifestations. The study underscored the importance of recognizing skin symptoms as potential indicators of systemic diseases, thereby aiding in early diagnosis and management.
