[An atypical form of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia with complete remission lasting for more than two years after multiple chemotherapy (author's transl)].

Abstract

An authentic case of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia without a tumoural syndrome is reported, with initial signs of peripheral pancytopenia. Complete and persistent remission appears to have followed multiple sequential chemotherapy. This very satisfactory and, according to data in the published literature, very rare result suggests that this type of treatment should be prescribed for all patients with macroglobulinaemia with poor prognostic clinical and histological characteristics.
