Two Cases of γ-Heavy Chain Disease and a Review of the Literature [PDF]
Case Reports in Hematology, 2018 Gamma heavy chain disease (γ-HCD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterised by the production of a truncated immunoglobulin heavy chain. Fewer than 200 cases have been reported in the literature. In some cases, γ-HCD occurs with other lymphoid
