Abstract
- We report a 59-year-old man presenting with retroperitoneal fibrosis (RF) associated with IgG lambda multiple myeloma. Recent clinical and immunohistochemical findings suggest that RF might be a particular expression of plasma cell/lymphoid dyscrasia, and that this association is not merely fortuitous. We review the pathophysiological evidence supporting this hypothesis.<br /> (Copyright 2010 Société nationale française de médecine interne (SNFMI). Published by Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.)
