Pseudovitelliform Subfoveal Deposit in Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Waldenström's macroglobulinemia may be complicated by retinal hemorrhages, retinal vein occlusion, serous macular detachment or macular edema. We report a patient with pseudovitelliform subfoveal deposit complicating Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. CASE REPORT A 56-year-old man presented with hyperviscosity syndrome due to Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. After systemic therapy, a large serous retinal detachment persisted in the left eye. A pseudovitelliform subfoveal deposit was observed in the right eye. CONCLUSION Pseudovitelliform subfoveal deposits may be part of the spectrum of ocular complications in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. They could be due to accumulation of macroglobulins.

Distal renal tubular acidosis in lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia: a case report
We present a case of distal renal tubular acidosis and acute renal insufficiency in a patient with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. Distal renal tubular acidosis has been described in hypergammaglobulinemia, but not in patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe a possible association between distal renal tubular acidosis and Waldenström...
متن کاملL265P Mutation of the MYD88 Gene Is Frequent in Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia and Its Absence in Myeloma
L265P mutation in the MYD88 gene has recently been reported in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia; however the incidence has been different according to the methods used. To determine the relevance and compare the incidence by different methods, we analyzed the L265P mutation in bone marrow mononuclear cells from lymphoid neoplasms. We first performed cloning and sequencing in 10 patients: 8 Walde...
متن کاملIgA and IgG hypogammaglobulinemia in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
BACKGROUND Hypogammaglobulinemia is common in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. The etiology of this finding remains unclear, but it has been speculated to be based on tumor-induced suppression of the 'uninvolved' immunoglobulin production DESIGN AND METHODS We evaluated the incidence of IgA and IgG hypogammaglobulinemia in 207 untreated patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia and invest...
متن کاملMembranoproliferative glomerulonephritis complicating Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia
BACKGROUND Lymphoproliferative disorders causing paraproteinemia can be associated with various kidney injuries including the deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulins (Ig). A known glomerular manifestation of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia is characterized by prominent intracapillary hyaline thrombi and lack of conspicuous glomerular proliferation. The present case was special in 2 aspects: 1....
متن کاملIncidence of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
This study sought to determine the incidence and pattern of occurrence of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, a plasmacytoid lymphocyte malignancy that involves monoclonal production of the IgM M-component type. Cases with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia have been reported since 1978 to the population-based cancer registry that serves western Washington state, and since 1988 to the eight other can...
