Immunophenotypic studies of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance [PDF]
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a common plasma cell dyscrasia, comprising the most indolent form of monoclonal gammopathy. However, approximately 25% of MGUS cases ultimately progress to plasma cell myeloma (PCM) or related diseases. It is difficult to predict which subset of patients will transform.

Epigenetic reprogramming in multiple myeloma—Challenges and opportunities
Abstract In cancer, mutational processes act in concert with epigenetic reprogramming to endow malignant cells with hallmark properties that underpin tumorigenesis. Compared with the relatively rigid and slow processes of genetic evolution, the plastic nature of chromatin enables cells to adapt to a changing environment more rapidly.

Expert Perspective: Diagnosis and Treatment of Castleman Disease
Castleman disease (CD) is a major diagnostic challenge for rheumatologists. Unicentric CD (UCD) involves one enlarged lymph node region, whereas multicentric CD (MCD) involves multiple enlarged lymph node regions. Both UCD and MCD may exhibit a wide range of symptoms that overlap with other immune‐mediated conditions.

Cytogenetic studies in clonal plasma cell disorders have mainly been done in whole bone marrow or CD138+ microbead-enriched plasma cells and suggest that recurrent immunoglobulin heavy chain translocations - e.g.

Importance Multiple myeloma is consistently preceded by monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Risk models that estimate the risk of progression from MGUS to multiple myeloma use data from a single time point, usually the initial ...

Oncogenic drivers of progression of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) to multiple myeloma (MM) such as c-MYC have downstream effects on intracellular metabolic pathways of clonal plasma cells (PCs).

Extranodal Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma Responding Rapidly to Zanubrutinib: A Case Series
ABSTRACT Management of recurrent or atypical lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma poses a significant therapeutic challenge. Here we demonstrate a case series of three patients with atypical presentations of extranodal lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma that each show remarkable and timely responses to Zanubrutinib with a limited side effect profile.

Type-I Cryoglobulinaemia Associated to Monoclonal Gammapathy of Undetermined Significance
Cryoglobulins are immunoglobulins that undergo reversible precipitation at cold temperatures. Monoclonal type-I cryoglobulinaemia is the least frequent and is associated to hematological diseases such as multiple myeloma, Waldenström’s macroglobulinaemia,

When Autoimmunity Meets Malignancy: A Rare Case of Concomitant Systemic Lupus and Multiple Myeloma
ABSTRACT The association between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and multiple myeloma (MM) is rare, with fewer than 20 cases reported in the literature, raising questions about the link between chronic immune dysregulation and oncogenesis. We report the case of a 43‐year‐old Malagasy woman in whom a monoclonal β2‐globulin spike, incidentally ...
