Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and peripheral neuropathy may be causally linked. In most cases, the M-protein is of IgG or IgM type. Peripheral neuropathy associated with IgA MGUS is uncommon, and there are limited reports. Here, we report a case of a 55-year-old male who was diagnosed to have symmetrical sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy associated with IgA MGUS with deposits of IgA-monoclonal protein in the myelin sheath.
意义未明的单克隆丙种球蛋白病(MGUS)与周围神经病变可能存在因果关联。在大多数情况下,M蛋白为IgG或IgM型。与IgA MGUS相关的周围神经病变并不常见,相关报道有限。在此,我们报告一例55岁男性患者,其被诊断为与IgA MGUS相关的对称性感觉运动性周围神经病变,髓鞘中有IgA单克隆蛋白沉积。
