Overview

Patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia usually appear oriented to time, place, and person. Physical examination of patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia is usually remarkable for various findings depending on the degree of tissue infiltration by malignant tumor cells, hyperviscosity syndrome, and accumulation of paraprotein.

Physical Examination

General Appearance

Patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia are generally well-appearing.[1]

Skin

  • Maculopapular lesions, plaques, or nodules.[2][3][4]
  • Purpura.
  • Raynaud phenomenon.
  • Petechiae (if platelet count is low).
  • Skin ulcers.
  • Skin necrosis.
  • Cold urticaria.
  • Firm, flesh-colored skin papules and nodules also called macroglobulinemia cutis.[3]

HEENT

  • Pallor.
  • Papilledema.
  • Malignant vitreitis.[5]
  • Congestion/sludging of blood in conjunctival vessels.
  • Retinitis/retinopathy including dilation, segmentation and tortuosity of retinal vessels, mid-peripheral retinal hemorrhages, serous retinal/macular neurosensory detachment, blurred disc margins and fundal exudates on fundoscopic examination.[6][7][8]

One year after therapy. The right fundus exhibited a roundish, subretinal, pseudovitelliform deposit (a). The deposit displayed uneven hyper-autofluorescence on a fundus autofluorescent photograph (c) and an uneven staining in fluorescein angiography (e). It was associated with macular edema in an OCT horizontal scan (g). The left eye fundus exhibited a large retinal serous detachment (b), with accumulation of hyper-autofluorescent lipofuscin material in autofluorescence fundus photography (d). Fluorescin angiography was not contributive (f), but OCT showed the absence of central photoreceptors (h).Source: Brolly A. et al, Department of Ophthalmology, APHP, Hôpital Lariboisière, University Paris Diderot, Sorbonne Paris Cité, Bourges, France.
