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. Thes 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/ 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.1 In 2006.

Differential Diagnosis

Disease IgM IgG IgA IgE IgD Monoclonal Ig level SFLC Bone marrow plasma cells Other criteria
IgM MGUS + < 3gm/dl N/A <10%
  • No end-organ damage
Non igM MGUS + + < 3gm/dl N/A <10%
  • No end-organ damage
Smoldering MM + + > 3gm/dl N/A 10-60%
  • No myeloma-defining event
  • No CRAB features
Light chain MGUS <500 mg/24 hrs (urine) Free kappa or lambda light chain
Abnormal ratio (<0.26 or >1.65)
Increase in involved light chain concentration
<10%
  • No end-organ damage
Active symptomatic Multiple myeloma + + + + >3gm/dl >100 >60%
  • ≥1 myeloma-defining event
  • CRAB features
Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia + Variable N/A >10%
Solitary Plasmacytoma + <3mg/dl Abnormal in 47% cases Normal
Primary amyloidosis <3md/dl Light chains of immunoglobulines <10%
  • Myeloma defining events: >60% clonal plasma cells on B.M exam; serum involved: uninvolved FLC ratio >100; >1 focal lesion on MRI >5mm
  • CRAB features: elevated calcium >11mg/dl, renal insufficiency, anemia Hb <10 g/dL , bone disease ≥1 lytic lesions on skeletal radiography, CT, or PET-CT , SFLC: serum free light chains, kappa and lambda immunoglobulin light chains.
  • 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.
