Overview
The diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia is based on bone marrow biopsy and serum protein analysis.
Diagnostic study of choice
Diagnostic study of choice
There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM), but bone marrow biopsy is considered to be mandatory for assessment of patients with WM and further followed by monoclonal protein studies.[1][2]
Diagnostic results
The following findings on performing bone marrow biopsy and serum protein analysis are confirmatory of Waldenström macroglobulinemia:[1]
- Presence of IgM monoclonal gammopathy on serum protein analysis (IgM can be of any size)
- A bone marrow biopsy demonstrating more than 10% infiltration by small lymphocytes with an intertrabecular pattern consistent with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma
- Immunophenotype of the lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate consistent with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. This includes: IgM+, CD5-, CD10-, CD11c-, CD19+, CD20+, CD22+, CD23-, CD25+, CD27+, FMC7+, CD103-
- Point mutation in the MYD88 gene (the L265P mutation)
