[Biclonal light chain gammopathy in multiple myeloma--a case report].
A 74-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital in March 1998 for low-back pain. In 1990, she had a chemotherapy for diffuse mixed cell lymphoma. Biochemical and serologic assays revealed a total protein level of 9.7 g/dl and an IgG level of 4,530 mg/dl. Immunoelectrophoresis showed monoclonal IgG protein associated with two monoclonal kappa and lambda light chain components. Bone marrow exami...
متن کاملBilateral Myelomatous Pleural Effusion in a Patient with IgA Kappa Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myelomas is a neoplastic plasma cell disorder that accounts for one percent of all cancers and 13% of hematologic malignancies. Although primarily known to be a bone marrow disorder, it can metastasize to extramedullary sites or it can present as a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma. Primary pleural effusion from myeloma is rare, occurring in less than one percent of the patients. Th...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin heavy and light chain isotypes in multiple myeloma patients.
The frequency of expression of immunoglobulin (Ig) light and heavy chain isotypes was analyzed in myeloma proteins (M-proteins) from sera of 40 Indian patients with clinically established multiple myeloma. Patients samples were screened by a combination of electrophoresis, immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) and ELISA techniques in this study. We found that majority of the myeloma proteins (58%) were o...
متن کاملMultiple Myeloma with Biclonal Gammopathy Accompanied by Prostate Cancer
We report a rare case of multiple myeloma with biclonal gammopathy (IgG kappa and IgA lambda type) in a 58-year-old man with prostate cancer who presented with lower back pain. Through computed tomography (CT) imaging, an osteolytic lesion at the L3 vertebra and an enhancing lesion of the prostate gland with multiple lymphadenopathies were found. In the whole body positron emission tomography-c...
متن کاملBiclonal IgD and IgM Plasma Cell Myeloma: A Report of Two Cases and a Literature Review
Biclonal plasma cell myelomas producing two different isotypes of immunoglobulins are extremely rare entities; to date, the combination of IgD and IgM secretion by a biclonal plasma cell myeloma has not been reported. Bone marrow biopsy immunohistochemical studies in two cases revealed neoplastic plasma cells coexpressing IgD and IgM, but serum protein electrophoresis identified only the IgM mo...
