The [[diagnosis]] of [[lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma]] is based on [[bone marrow biopsy|bone marrow aspiration and biopsy]] and [[serum]] [[protein]] analysis studies such as [[immunohistochemistry]], [[flow cytometry]] and [[cytogenetics]] to distinguish LPL from other types of [[B-cell]] [[lymphomas]] .

There is no single [[diagnostic study of choice]] for the [[diagnosis]] of [[lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma]] (LPL), but '''bone marrow aspiration and biopsy''' is considered to be mandatory for assessment of patients with LPL and further supported by monoclonal protein/immunophenotypic studies such as [[immunohistochemistry]], [[flow cytometry]] and [[cytogenetics]] to distinguish LPL from other types of [[B-cell]] [[lymphomas]].<ref name="pmid15735132">{{cite journal| author=Dimopoulos MA, Kyle RA, Anagnostopoulos A, Treon SP| title=Diagnosis and management of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. | journal=J Clin Oncol | year= 2005 | volume= 23 | issue= 7 | pages= 1564-77 | pmid=15735132 | doi=10.1200/JCO.2005.03.144 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=15735132  }} </ref><ref name="pmid26980727">{{cite journal| author=Swerdlow SH, Campo E, Pileri SA, Harris NL, Stein H, Siebert R et al.| title=The 2016 revision of the World Health Organization classification of lymphoid neoplasms. | journal=Blood | year= 2016 | volume= 127 | issue= 20 | pages= 2375-90 | pmid=26980727 | doi=10.1182/blood-2016-01-643569 | pmc=4874220 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=26980727  }} </ref>

Overview

The diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma is based on bone marrow aspiration and biopsy and serum protein analysis studies such as immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and cytogenetics to distinguish LPL from other types of B-cell lymphomas. CSF flow cytometry, protein electrophoresis and immunofixation is done for the diagnosis of Bing-Neel syndrome (a late, but severe, rare complication).

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Diagnostic Criteria:

Diagnostic criteria presented in second International Workshop, Greece, 2002

Diagnostic criteria presented in second International Workshop, Greece, 2002
1:Presence of IgM monoclonal gammopathy of any concentration on serum protein analysis Necessary criteria
2:A bone marrow biopsy demonstrating more than 10% infiltration by small lymphocytes, plasmacytoid lymphocytes, and plasma cells, (with variable numbers of admixed immunoblasts), with an intertrabecular pattern consistent with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma Proliferation centers (pathognomonic of CLL/SLL) and paler-appearing marginal zone type differentiation (seen in marginal zone lymphoma) are absent Necessary criteria
IgM concentration widely varies in WM, and it is not possible to define a concentration that reliably distinguishes WM from other lymphoproliferative disorders. Hence, a diagnosis of WM can be made irrespective of IgM concentration if there is an evidence of bone marrow infiltration by lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma as defined by the Revised European-American Lymphoma classification and WHO criteria. This is a tumor of small lymphocytes showing evidence of plasmacytoid or plasma cell differentiation.
A recent study found that, in 39% of patients, the bone marrow aspirate contained a spectrum of small lymphocytes, plasmacytoid lymphocytes, and plasma cells; in 39% of patients, there was a predominance of small lymphocytes with fewer plasmacytoid lymphocytes or plasma cells, and 22% of the patients contained a mixture of small lymphocytes and plasma cells, with rare plasmacytoid cells. Mast cells were increased in 26% of patients.
3:Intertrabecular pattern of bone marrow infiltration Supportive criteria
4:Immunophenotype of the lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate consistent with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. This includes: IgM+, CD5-, CD10-, CD11c-, CD19+, CD20+, CD22+, CD23-, CD25+, CD27+, FMC7+, CD103- and CD138+ Supportive criteria

mSMART guidelines for diagnosis of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia and associated disorders

mSMART guidelines 2016 for diagnosis of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia and associated disorders
Waldenström macroglobulinemia IgM monoclonal gammopathy (regardless of the size of the M protein) with >10% bone marrow lymphoplasmacytic infiltration (usually intertrabecular) by small lymphocytes that exhibit plasmacytoid or plasma cell differentiation and a typical immunophenotype (surface IgM+, CD5–, CD10–, CD19+, CD20+, CD23–) that satisfactorily excludes other lymphoproliferative disorders, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma
IgM MGUS Serum IgM monoclonal protein level <3 g/dL, bone marrow lymphoplasmacytic infiltration <10%, and no evidence of anemia, constitutional symptoms, hyperviscosity, lymphadenopathy, or hepatosplenomegaly
Smoldering Waldenström macroglobulinemia (indolent /asymptomatic Waldenström macroglobulinemia) Serum IgM monoclonal protein level ≥3 g/dL and/or bone marrow lymphoplasmacytic infiltration ≥10% and no evidence of end-organ damage, such as anemia, constitutional symptoms, hyperviscosity, lymphadenopathy, or hepatosplenomegaly, that can be attributed to a lymphoplasmacytic proliferative disorder
