Overview

Plasma cell disorders are a diverse type of blood disorders characterized by proliferation of a single clone of plasma cells that produces a homogeneous monoclonal (M) protein. These monoclonal paraprotein are seen in the serum or urine. Monoclonal plasma cells are present in the bone marrow or, rarely, in other tissues. Plasma cell disorders include monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), multiple myeloma (MM), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma or Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM), lymphoproliferative disorders, smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM); solitary or extramedullary plasmacytoma, amyloidosis, and POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes). These disorders have been defined by the International Myeloma Working Group in 2006.

The normal κ:λ ratio is 0.26 to 1.65 (17,18). A κ:λ ratio of <0.26 strongly suggests the presence of a of plasma cells that are producing clonal λ free light chains. Ratio >1.65 suggests production of clonal κ free light chains.

Monoclonal gammopathies of undetermined significance (MGUS)

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is a condition in which a low or non-quantifiable level of a monoclonal paraprotein is detected in the blood by means of protein electrophoresis.^[1]^[2]^[3]
In addition, some patients develop a polyneuropathy or other problems related to the secreted antibody.
MGUS is a premalignant condition and is distinct from multiple myeloma.
Pathologically, the lesion in Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is in fact very similar to that in multiple myeloma.

Malignant monoclonal gammopathies

Multiple myeloma

Symptomatic multiple myeloma

People with multiple myeloma with symptoms are categorized to have active multiple myeloma and will exhibit any of the following features:^[4]
- M protein in blood or urine
- Bone marrow plasma cells constitute more than 10% of the blood cells
- Presence of solitary plasmacytoma in bone
- ≥ 1 myeloma-defining event
- CRAB features ( explained above)
- Osteolytic lesions on bone x-ray

Patients with active multiple myeloma usually require treatment to prevent progression of disease which can lead to death.

Smoldering multiple myeloma

It is asymptomatic type of multiple myeloma.^[5]
Shows presence of M-spike that quantitates > 3 g/dl on protein electrophoresis.

Presence of bone marrow plasma cell burden of > 10% but < 60%.

Absence of end-organ damage such as anemia, hypercalcemia, renal dysfunction, or osseous lesions.

Patients with smoldering (asymptomatic) multiple myeloma are managed by observation and undergoing follow up tests every 3 to 6 months.
There is high risk of developing active multiple myeloma.

Plasma-cell leukemia

Characterized by large number of plasma cells circulating in the blood.^[6]
Rare condition, can develop in to most aggressive form of multiple myeloma.
Can occur as a secondary type in a patient with multiple myeloma.
Treatment options for plasma cell leukemia is chemotherapy or stem cell transplant.

Non-secretory myeloma

Type of multiple myeloma with less amount of M proteins secretion in blood or urine.^[6]
M protein is not detected by serum protein electrophoresis.
Bone marrow exibit myeloma cells.
Osteolytic bone lesions are seen on X-ray.

IgD myeloma

IgD type constitues 2% of multiple myeloma.^[6]
IgD multiple myeloma has similar signs and symptoms as other types of multiple myeloma.

IgD myeloma mostly affect people of younger age.

Osteosclerotic myeloma

It is a rare disorder affecting multiple systems of the body.^[6]

It is called POEMS syndrome: polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, skin changes.
Treatment option for osteoclastic myeloma include:

Solitary plasmacytoma of bone

Plasmacytoma is collection of abnormal plasma cells forming a single tumor.^[7]
Solitary plasmacytoma is occurrence of single bone tumor made up of myeloma cells.
X-ray shows an osteolytic lesion at the site of the tumor.
Bone marrow plasma population remains less than 10%.
One third of patients with solitary plasmacytoma will develop multiple myeloma.

Extramedullary plasmacytoma

It is developed outside the bone marrow in soft tissues of the body^[6]
Most commonly seen in throat, paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, larynx, GI tract, breast, and brain.
Diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy of the tumor.
X-rays and bone marrow biopsy is normal.
Treatment is done with either radiation therapy or surgery.

Malignant lymphoproliferative disorders

Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia

Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is a cancer involving lymphocytes.^[8]
The main attributing antibody is IgM.
It is a type of lymphoproliferative disease.
It shares clinical characteristics with the indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia represents 1% of all hematological cancers.
Common causes of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia include genetic, environmental, and autoimmune factors.
Common risk factors in the development of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia are monoclonal gammopathies of undetermined significance.

For more information about Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, click here.

Malignant lymphoma

Type of cancer that originates in lymphocytes.^[9]
Also called hematological neoplasms.
Primary types include Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

For more information about malignant lymphoma, click here.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia arises from pre-follicular center B cells, normally involved in immunoglobulins production.^[10]
Development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the result of multiple genetic mutations that promote both malignant leukemic proliferation and apoptotic resistance of mature B cells.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia must be differentiated from hairy cell leukaemia, prolymphocytic leukaemia, follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma.
Prognosis is generally good, and the 5-year survival rate of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia is approximately 81.7%.
The mainstay of therapy for symptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients is immunochemotherapy.

Heavy-chain diseases (HCD)

Heavy chain diseases are plasma cell neoplasia featuring overproduction of immunoglobulin heavy chains.^[11]

γHCD

Also known as gamma chain or IgG heavy chain disease.
- Primarily seen in elderly men but can occur in children.
- High levels of IgG with reduction of normal immunoglobulin level.
- Lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and recurrent infections are common features.
- Vincristine, corticosteroids and radiation therapy may produce remission.

αHCD

Also known as alpha chain or IgA heavy chain.
- Appears between age 10-30 as an immune response to a microorganism.
- Patients present with diffuse abdominal lymphoma and malabsorption.
- Course is variable, some patients die in 1-2 yrs, others go in to remission lasting for many years.
- Serum protein electrophoresis detect increased α & β fraction.
- Treatment is corticosteroids, cytotoxic drugs and broadspectrum antibiotics

μHCD

Also known as mu chain or IGM heavy chain disease.
- Mainly affects individuals > 50 yrs.
- Spleen, liver and abdominal lymph nodes involvement is more common than peripheral lymphadenopathy.
- Serum protein electrophoresis exibit hypogammaglobulinemia.
- Vacuolated plasma cells are pathognomic on bone marrow exam.
- Treatment consists of alkylating agents and corticosteroids.

Cryoglobulinemia

Cryoglobulinemia is the presence of high amount of heavy globulins (e.g. IgM) in the bloodstream which thicken on exposure to cold.^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]
Cryoglobulins are circulating immunoglobulins or proteins that become insoluble at less than 4 degrees celsius.
Cryoglobulinemia can lead to a medium-sized vessel vasculitis due to vascular deposition of circulating immune complexes.
This leads to the triad of palpable purpura, arthralgias and peripheral neuropathy.
Common causes of cryoglobulinemia are primarily hematologic, oncologic, and rheumatic

Primary amyloidosis

The "AL" refers to amyloid light chain.^[16]^[17]
- AL amyloidosis is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis in the US.
- Occurs in 5 to 15% of people with multiple myeloma.
- Treatment can involve application of chemotherapy similar to that used in multiple myeloma
