Summary:ABSTRACT We present a case of a patient who presented concomitantly with generalized pruritus, brownish sclerodermatous plaques, sclerodactyly and a monoclonal band for IgG‐kappa.

The rapidly progressive evolution with acute anuric renal failure, malignant hypertension and the skin sclerosis seem to be related to the neoplastic disorder. The scleroderma‐like changes have to be differentiated from systemic scleroderma.
