RESUMO
La macroglobulinemia de Waldenström (MW) es una neoplasia linfoide caracterizada por una infiltración principalmente de la médula ósea y del ganglio linfático por linfocitos pequeños maduros o con diferenciación plasmocitoide, con banda monoclonal IgM asociada, y en general un bajo grado de agresividad. Presentamos el primer caso publicado en la literatura española de enfermedad pulmonar intersticial difusa como forma de presentación de una MW y realizamos una revisión de la literatura
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) is a lymphoid malignancy characterized by infiltration, mainly of the bone marrow and lymph nodes, by small mature lymphocytes showing plasmacytoid differentiation, associated with an IgM monoclonal band, and in general, a low degree of aggressiveness. We present the first case reported in the Spanish literature of interstitial lung disease presenting as MW and we review the literature
