Cutaneous amyloidosis as the first presentation of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
Background: Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is a lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with elevated serum immunoglobulin M and multi-organ involvement. Primary systemic amyloidosis usually develops due to immunoglobulin light chains depositions in different organs due to an underlying gammopathy. Case presentation: Our patient was an 86-year-old man with macroglossia, ecchymotic patches and bullous lesion...
متن کاملEvaluation of monoclonal and oligoclonal gammopathies in a pediatric population in a major urban center.
OBJECTIVES A growing body of literature has documented monoclonal proteins in children. Little is known about their associated diagnoses. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated all patients (aged 0-21 years) with abnormal findings on serum immunofixation electrophoresis (SIFE) from 2005 to 2011. We also documented the monoclonal immunoglobulin classes and light chain types involved and then cor...
متن کاملHepatitis B Associated Monoclonal Gammopathy That Resolved after Successful Liver Transplant
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) has been most commonly associated with diseases like multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, primary systemic amyloidosis, HIV, and other lymphoproliferative disorders. There has been an isolated report of MGUS in patients coinfected with HIV and Hepatitis B, as the work by Amara et al. in 2006. Here, we report a case of IgA-k...
متن کاملRenal involvement in non-malignant IgM gammopathy.
Renal involvement is observed frequently in association with malignant gammopathies, mainly those related to light chain deposition [1]. Nevertheless, light chain deposition renal disease has also been described in non-malignant monoclonal gammopathy, namely in IgG or IgA plasma cell dyscrasia [2,3]. Renal involvement in IgM monoclonal disorders is traditionally described in patients with malig...
متن کاملThe clinical relevance and management of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and related disorders: recommendations from the European Myeloma Network.
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is one of the most common pre-malignant disorders. IgG and IgA monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance are precursor conditions of multiple myeloma; light-chain monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance of light-chain multiple myeloma; and IgM monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance of Waldenström's macroglobuline...
