چکیده
igd myeloma is very rate. it differs from multiple myeloma of other classes in several aspects and its laboratory diagnosis may be difficult, as total plasma protein concentration is often normal, and a paraprotein peak may not be easily demonstrable by the conventional electrophoretic techniques. we report here two cases of igd myeloma investigated in this laboratory. immunochemical, biochemical, and hematological studies were carried out: serum total protein values were within normal range. quatitation of serum immunoglobulins revealed a decrease in the level of igg, iga, and igm. bence jones proteinuria of l type was present in both patients. serum immunoelectrophoresis, using specific antisera, showed the presence of igd l paraprotein the diagnosis of igd myeloma was made after further investigations. our findings indicate that all patients who have been suspected to have multiple myeloma should be investigated for igd and ige myeloma

A rare case of biclonal IgD-kappa and IgG-kappa myeloma is described. The patient initially presented with anemia, renal insufficiency, and proteinuria. The IgD-kappa, initially, was overlooked as a light chain; however, it decreased in serum concentration after treatment by approximately 90%, in contrast to the IgG-kappa that decreased in serum by approximately 40 % over a 9-yr period. Clinica...
متن کاملAggressive FLC Escape in a Patient with IgD Myeloma
Background. Some patients who are stable or in remission from a myeloma secreting intact monoclonal immunoglobulin (+/- associated free light-chains (FLCs)) relapse with production of FLC. This FLC escape is one of the illustrations of the intraclonal heterogeneity of multiple myeloma. Results. We report FLC escape in a patient with IgD myeloma characterized by a severe outcome. We discuss para...
متن کاملIgD myeloma protein with "unreactive" light chain determinants.
Serum from a patient with multiple myeloma showed a monoclonal protein, classified by immunoelectrophoresis as IgD. Immunofixation electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis failed to demonstrate a precipitation reaction between the paraprotein and antisera to immunoglobulin light chains. The light chains of the monoclonal protein, immunologically inaccessible in the intact molecule, reacted wit...
متن کاملIgD (kappa) "nonsecretory" multiple myeloma: report of a case.
A case of IgD "nonsecretory" multiple myeloma in a 46-yr-old woman is reported. Despite the presence of disseminated osteolytic lesions, both serum protein electrophoresis and serum and urine immunoelectrophoresis were normal. In addition, bone scintigraphic study was normal. Bone marrow biopsy and aspirate obtained from the left femur lytic lesion showed only myelomatous proplasmocytes; when e...
