A 60-year-old white woman with a history of breast cancer, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, and chronic renal insufficiency presented with stiffness in her arms and legs of 3 months' duration. She had undergone multiple MRI and magnetic resonance angiography examinations with gadolinium-containing contrast media over the last 2 years. Complete physical examination including thorough skin examination; laboratory examinations including CBC, urinalysis, serum creatinine, protein electrophoresis and C-reactive protein; antinuclear antibody assay; Westergren erythrocyte sedimentation rate; and an excisional skin biopsy. Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (also known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy). Symptomatic treatment, physical therapy, and a brief trial of imatinib mesylate.
