PMCID: PMC473159  PMID: 4955538

Abstract

A case of primary macroglobulinaemia of Waldenström is described in which prolonged treatment with the alkylating agents of cyclophosphamide and chlorambucil led to a sustained reduction in the concentration of circulating macroglobulin together with a concurrent improvement in the patient's symptoms.
