Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia

Abstract

The authors report the case of a COPD patient who presented in OPD with repeated episodes of headache, transient blurring of vision and numbness of lower limbs. O/E he had pallor, hepatosplenomegaly and features in favour of CCF. Bone marrow study revealed lymphocytic plasma cells suggestive of Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia. The cytological features, clinical findings, hyperviscosity and treatment strategies are discussed here.
