Abstract
Cutaneous plasmacytosis is a rare disorder of unknown etiology characterized by the proliferation of mature plasma cells in the skin and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. Cutaneous plasmacytosis is associated with an elevated Interleukin-6 level. Anti-IL-6 therapy has not been reported as a therapy for idiopathic cutaneous plasmacytosis. This article presents a case of a Caucasian woman with idiopathic cutaneous plasmacytosis who was successfully treated with tocilizumab, a monoclonal anti-IL-6 receptor antibody. The patient experienced improvement in both her cutaneous lesions as well as subjective symptoms after 2 months on tocilizumab.
