Abstract
Abstract REPORT OF A CASE A 37-year-old white man presented with a 3-month history of ''tightness'' of his extremities and trunk. Five months before, edema suddenly developed over his entire body; a complete workup at that time was unrevealing.

He had no history of preceding strenuous exercise, trauma, levotryptophan ingestion, illness, or fever. The patient had not taken References 1. Shulman LE.
