Monoclonal gammopathy in patients with chronic and acute myeloid leukemia

Abstract: Monoclonal IgG components were found in the serum of 5 of 40 patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia (12.5%), as well as in 2 of 15 patients with acute myelocytic leukemia (13.3%). These findings may represent an involvement of the lymphoplasmacytic system in myeloproliferative disorders. The significance of this association is discussed.

“…It was postulated that a progenitor stem cell could be the source of origin, or even an immune response to the primary malignancy could trigger the evolution of this M protein. 14 This association of CML with MGUS has been reproduced in some recent studies. A karyotypic event seems to lead to gene mutation, inducing a malignant transformation into MM, while other mutations would drive into other nonmalignant gammopathies.…”

“…The hyperproteinemia due to hyperglobulinemia was primarily attributed to inflammation. However, monoclonal gammopathy can be concurrent with acute and chronic myeloid leukemia 16 due to separate disease processes in people, and lymphoid leukemia can produce a monoclonal gammopathy. A monoclonal gammopathy could not be excluded as there was no plasma left for electrophoresis.…”

“…Although the association of these two conditions does not seem a mere coincidence, a definite explanation has not yet been offered. The most frequent hypothesis to explain this association is the neoplastic transformation of a single progenitor capable of differentiation into two cell lines [9,15,16]. An alternative explanation is that the monoclonal component may be the result of an immune reaction to the leukemic proliferation [7,17], similar to the presence of monoclonal component in patients with epithelial tumors [18,19].…”
