Macroglobulinemia

Aka: Macroglobulinemia, Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, Primary Macroglobulinemia
  1. Pathophysiology
    1. Lymphoproliferative Malignancy
      1. Proliferation of plasma cells and Lymphocytes
    2. Similar to Multiple Myeloma
    3. Produces a large monoclonal IgM protein
  2. Epidemiology
    1. Older men more frequently affected
    2. Hereditary component
  3. Symptoms
    1. Weakness
    2. Fatigue
    3. Oronasal bleeding
    4. Blurred vision or Decreased Visual Acuity (33%)
    5. No Bone pain
      1. Contrast with Multiple Myeloma
    6. Hyperviscosity results in neurologic symptoms
      1. Dizziness or Vertigo
      2. Headache
      3. Nystagmus
      4. Paresthesias
      5. Decreased Level of Consciousness (Somnolence to Coma)
    7. Sudden Deafness
    8. Progressive spinal muscular atrophy
  4. Signs
    1. Pallor
    2. Splenomegaly
    3. Hepatomegaly
    4. Peripheral Lymphadenopathy
    5. Retinal lesions
      1. Retinal Hemorrhage
      2. Retinal Exudate
      3. Venous congestion
    6. Peripheral Neuropathy
    7. Pulmonary Disease
      1. Infiltrates or Pleural Effusion
  5. Labs
    1. Complete Blood Count
      1. Normocytic normochromic Anemia
    2. Peripheral Smear
      1. Rouleau formation
    3. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate markedly elevated
    4. Bone Marrow Biopsy
      1. Hypocellular
      2. Extensive Infiltrations by lymphoid and plasma cells
      3. Increased Mast Cell numbers
    5. Immunoelectrophoresis
      1. Monoclonal IgM Protein >3 g/dl
  6. Differential Diagnosis
    1. Multiple Myeloma
    2. Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
    3. Lymphoma
  7. Management
    1. Suppression of Lymphocyte and Plasma Cell proliferation
      1. Chlorambucil
      2. Cyclophosphamide
      3. Combination chemotherapeutic regimens
    2. Hyperviscosity
      1. Plasmapheresis with cell separator
  8. Prognosis
    1. Five Year median survival after diagnosis

Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia (C0024419)

Definition (NCI) Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma associated with bone marrow involvement and IgM monoclonal gammopathy.
Definition (NCI) An indolent (slow-growing) type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma marked by abnormal levels of IgM antibodies in the blood and an enlarged liver, spleen, or lymph nodes.
Definition (CSP) plasma cell dyscrasia resembling leukemia, with cells of lymphocytic, plasmacytic, or intermediate morphology, that secrete an IgM monoclonal component.
Definition (MSH) A lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by pleomorphic B-LYMPHOCYTES including PLASMA CELLS, with increased levels of monoclonal serum IMMUNOGLOBULIN M. There is lymphoplasmacytic cells infiltration into bone marrow and often other tissues, also known as lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Clinical features include ANEMIA; HEMORRHAGES; and hyperviscosity.
