A 79-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with pustular pyoderma gangrenosum and an associated IgG kappa monoclonal gammopathy. The patient is currently being evaluated for possible multiple myeloma. IgG multiple myeloma and IgG monoclonal gammopathies are very rare in patients with pyoderma gangrenosum. The skin lesions are improving with the use of prednisone.
