چکیده

We report here a case with secondary polycythaemia, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and renal lymphangiectasis revealed by renal failure. Renal failure was probably linked to renal compression by fluid collections. Renal lymphangiectasis is a rare but has already been described in the literature. In addition, its association with a monoclonal paraprotein and polycythaemia seems to be a new clinical entity recently reported in only one patient.

Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance with Metastatic Carcinoma – A Rare Presentation

The presence of a low level of M protein in the peripheral blood <3gm/dl which is below the required cut off for the diagnosis of plasma cell myeloma is known as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Elevated levels of serum M protein and detection of M band on serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) can occur in chronic diseases not related to B cell disorders and not always d...

Sir, Two recent reports in The New England Journal of Medicine on a newly described syndrome, namely TEMPI syndrome (telangiectasia, erythrocytosis, monoclonal paraprotein, paranephric fluid collections, intrapulmonary shunting) are fascinating [1, 2], considering the number of cases where the radiological finding of perinephric fluid collections are not investigated further [3] or the concomit...

Unusual association of multiple sclerosis with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS): two case reports.

We present two patients with demyelinating disease meeting the diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis. Both patients had IgG lambda monoclonal gammopathy in serum and cerebrospinal fluid associated with intrathecal antibody synthesis. This association is very unusual and it is not certain whether the co-occurrence of these disorders might be the result of a causal link between multiple scle...
