ABSTRACT

Abstract: Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma is a rare chronic condition, belonging to the group C non-Langerhans cell histiocytoses, which is relevant due to the possibility of extracutaneous involvement and association with systemic diseases, particularly hematologic malignancies. The case reported here was only diagnosed after nine years of evolution and was associated with plasma cell dyscrasia. After treatment with cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone, and thalidomide, there was a reduction of cutaneous lesions and serum levels of monoclonal protein.

ABSTRACT

Las gammapatías monoclonales son un conjunto de enfermedades causadas por la proliferación clonal de células plasmáticas que secretan un mismo tipo de inmunoglobulina, conocido como inmunoglobulina clonal. El pronóstico de estas enfermedades hematológicas depende del diagnóstico temprano, en el Mieloma Múltiple se asocia con una enfermedad menos grave. Las pruebas de laboratorio desempeñan un papel importante en las distintas etapas del manejo clínico del paciente con gammapatía monoclonal. Estas incluyen pruebas tradicionales como la electroforesis de proteínas en suero, la inmunofijación, y actualmente se adiciona la determinación de cadenas ligeras libres en suero, una prueba complementaria importante porque permite evidenciar la presencia de gammapatías monoclonales de forma temprana por su alta sensibilidad, así como cuantificar las cadenas ligeras libres kappa/lambda y determinar la monoclonalidad a través del respectivo cociente, parámetro que desde el 2014 está integrado en los criterios diagnósticos de mieloma según la International Myeloma Working Group.Como metodología se realizó la búsqueda de material bibliográfico: se definieron las palabras clave utilizando los descriptores DeCS y MeSH, se inició la búsqueda de información en las bases de datos bibliográficas PubMed, ScienceDirect y se ejecutó una búsqueda en internet con buscador "google académico" con los mismos términos. Se seleccionaron aquellos artículos y páginas de internet que contaran con información de interés, que cumplieran los requisitos para incluirse dentro del artículo de revisión, se almacenaron en una base de datos y finalmente se realizó la lectura crítica de la información.


Monoclonal gammopathies are a group of diseases caused by the clonal proliferation of plasma cells that secrete the same type of immunoglobulin, known as clonal immunoglobulin. The prognosis of these hematological diseases depends on the early diagnosis, in Multiple Myeloma is associated with a less serious disease. Laboratory tests play an important role in the different stages of clinical management of patients with Monoclonal gammopathies, including traditional tests such as serum protein electrophoresis, immunofixation, and the determination of free light chains in serum it is considered an important complementary test since it allows initially to show the presence of Monoclonal gammopathies in an early way due to its high sensitivity, likewise it allows to quantify the kappa / lambda free light chains and to determine the monoclonality through the respective quotient, this is a parameter that since 2014 is integrated into the myeloma diagnostic criteria according to the International Myeloma Working Group.As a methodology, the search of bibliographic material was carried out: the keywords were defined using the DeCS and MeSH descriptors, the search for information in the PubMed, ScienceDirect bibliographic databases was started and an internet search was carried out with the "google academic" search engine with the same terms. Those articles and internet pages that had information of interest, that met the requirements to be included in the review article, were stored in a database and finally the critical reading of the information was selected
