چکیده
A 52-year-old white man first became ill in September 1968. He was hospitalized at that time at another institution with a right-sided pyopneumothorax treated by thoracotomy with pleural decortication and drainage of the empyema. A lung biopsy was reported as pseudolymphoma. His recovery was uneventful. In October, 1970 he was hospitalized at Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital because of increasing dyspnea of two months' duration.

متن کاملIgM Myeloma or Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia Is the Big Question?
ABSTRACT Although critical from therapeutic and prognostic perspectives, differentiating IgM Myeloma (MM) from Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) is fraught with failure.

However, all these features have their own lim...
