Non-Hodgkin lymphoma associated with double monoclonal immunoglobulin

Acta Haematol. 1980;63(1):49-51. doi: 10.1159/000207368.

Abstract

We describe an unusual case displaying the features of double monoclonal gammapathy (IgM-kappa plus IgG-lambda) associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In the last years monoclonal gammapathies have been sometimes found to be associated with NHLs; it is a very peculiar occurrence the association between a different class double monoclonal gammapathy and NHL, as the case reported in this paper.
