ABSTRACT
Central to the diagnosis of Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia is the demonstration of bone marrow infiltration by lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with Ig M monoclonal gammopathy. We describe a patient who presented with a clinical and haematological picture, highly suggestive of Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, but whose serum monoclonal immunoglobulin belonged to Ig A class. Ig A secreting lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma undoubtedly exist but are exceedingly uncommon and their relationship to Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia needs to be clarified.
