The proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib, has anti-myeloma activity even in myeloma cells refractory to multiple prior treatments. Bortezomib blocks the production of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF kappa B)-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokines. We report a patient with myeloma who developed a cutaneous leucoclastic vasculitis (LV) after bortezomib treatment. The patient with LV exhibited a marked increase in serum levels of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and C-reactive protein (CRP). Bortezomib administration may enhance the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which might play a role in bortezomib-induced cutaneous LV.
