CAUTION :: Corticosteroids - In the hands of careless physicians, the use of these can quickly lead to serious deterioration of the spinal bones and subsequent disastrous curvature.
As I understand it, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia is the correct spelling. It should have a 's because it is named after someone. Furthermore, this variation is in much more common usage. The original title of the page still exists as a redirect. Dyinghappy ( talk) 08:57, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
I see that there is a redirect to here from Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma and that the opening sentence equates them. However, ICD-O 3rd edition uses different morphology codes (M9671/3 for lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma and M9761/3 for WM). ICD-10 follows this and classifies them to different categories.
The Oxford Textbook of Oncology, section 15, says (in part):
"This relatively rare lymphoma occurs in older individuals and usually presents with isolated lymphadenopathy and/or paraproteinaemia. Characteristically, the latter is due to secretion of IgM by the tumour and when excessive gives rise to the hyperviscosity syndrome of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia. Morphologically, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma is distinguished by a mixture of small lymphocytes and larger cells with more abundant cytoplasm."
I therefore question the redirect and suggest that there should be separate articles with cross-referencing. Beeswaxcandle ( talk) 23:32, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
