Plasma cell leukemia with iga paraproteinemia and hyperviscosity

Michael A. Kosmo, Robert Peter Gale

Abstract

Primary IgA plasma cell leukemia is a rare disorder in which hyperviscosity has not been reported. We studied a patient with plasma cell leukemia and IgA lambda monoclonal gammopathy with an elevated relative serum viscosity and congestive heart failure. Plasmapheresis and chemotherapy were successful in controlling symptoms. We discuss this unusual association and review the literature.
