Diagnostic criteria of Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia
In September 26-30, 2002, in Athens, Greece,the Second International Workshop was held in which the following diagnostic criteria for Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia was proposed:
- IgM monoclonal protein of any concentration.
- Bone marrow infiltration by small lymphocytes showing plasmacytoid/plasma-cell differentiation.
- Intertrabecular pattern of bone marrow infiltration.
- Surface IgM+, CD5±, CD10−, CD19+, CD20+, CD22+, CD23−, CD25+, CD27+, FMC7+, CD103−, CD138 immunophenotype.
- Not all the diagnostic tests mentioned are performed in a WM patient. A doctor takes into account the following factors before choosing diagnostic tests in a particular patient:
- Suspected type of cancer.
- Signs and symptoms.
- Age.
- Medical condition of the patient.
- Results of earlier medical tests.
