Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare chronic lymphoproliferative disease, accounting for less than 2% of hematological malignancies. It is characterized by plasma cytoid lymphocyte infiltration in bone marrow and abnormal increase of monoclonal IgM in peripheral blood. Only 5%-10% of cases of WM secrete monoclonal IgG and IgA components or do not secrete monoclonal long immunoglobulin. This case is the first to report of serum protein recombination from lgM and Igkappa band mutation to abnormal lgG and Igkappa band after 6 years of treatment in a male patient with WM.
华氏巨球蛋白血症(WM)是一种罕见的慢性淋巴细胞增殖性疾病,占血液系统恶性肿瘤的比例不到2%。其特征是骨髓中浆细胞样淋巴细胞浸润以及外周血中单克隆IgM异常增加。仅5%-10%的WM病例分泌单克隆IgG和IgA成分或不分泌单克隆完整免疫球蛋白。该病例首次报道了一名男性WM患者在经过6年治疗后血清蛋白从IgM和Igκ带突变重组为异常IgG和Igκ带。
