ABSTRACT
Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia is a rare disease of plasmacytoid lymphocyte proliferation usually presented without bone lesion which is the common presenting symptom in multiple myeloma. We report a 50-year-old female with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia presented as a bony lesion without many other features common in this diesease. She was admitted with the chief complaint of low back pain and low extremity paresthesia for two months. Bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, protein and immune electrophoresis showed findings consistent with Waldenstr m's macroglobulinemia. Magnetic resonance imaging of thoracic spine showed pathologic compression fracture in T6 and T7 with posterior epidural mass at T6 to T7 level. We report this unusual case of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia presented as compression fracture of thoracic spine with a review of literatures.
