Dry eye in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. Improvement after systemic chemotherapy.

Abstract
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia is an uncommon cause of dry eye. We describe a case of dry eye associated with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia that responded poorly to substitutive topical treatment but improved spectacularly in response to systemic chemotherapy. As far as we know, no similar case has been reported.
