RESUMO
A 46-year-old woman with widespread prurigo nodularis was treated with 300 mg clofazimine a day for six months. Ten months after stopping the drug she complained of weight loss and gastrointestinal side effects which were shortly improved by a gluten-free diet, but relapsed one year later. At laparotomy, all tissues were stained bright orange-yellow, and histological examination showed crystals deposited in the chorion of intestinal villi and in the mesenteric lymph nodes.
