Abstract

Waldenström makroglobulinemia is a B cell neoplasm commonly seen in adults between 6th and 7th decade.The incidence of Waldenström makroglobulinemia is as low as 2,5/ million/ year and constitutes %2 of hematologic malignancies. It presents with constitutional symptoms such as pain, fatigue and weight loss. Here, a case presenting with diffuse pain, fatigue and high sedimentation rate diagnosed Waldenström makroglobulinemia after excluding other diseases is reported.

Özet

Waldenström makroglobülinemisi genellikle altı ila yedinci dekaddaki erişkinlerde görülen bir B hücre neoplazmıdır. İnsidansı 2,5/milyon/yıl gibi düşük bir değere sahip olup hematolojik malignensilerin yaklaşık %2'sini oluşturur. Halsizlik, yorgunluk ve kilo kaybı gibi spesifik olmayan belirtilerle kendini gösterir. Bu olgu sunumunda yaygın ağrı, yorgunluk ve eritrosit sedimantasyon hız yüksekliği olan ve yapılan ayırıcı tanı sonrasında Waldenström makroglobulinemisi saptanan bir hasta sunulmuştur.
