: Immunoglobulin M monoclonal gammopathies of undetermined significance and indolent Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia recognize the same determinants of evolution into symptomatic lymphoid disorders: proposal for a common prognostic scoring system.

POEMS syndrome is associated with a group of disorders known as monoclonal gammopathies or plasma cell dyscrasias.
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is one of four types of monoclonal gammopathies.

or their derivative plasma cells), the immunoglobulin protein they make is of one restricted type, referred to as monoclonal protein. The group of neoplastic diseases that form monoclonal proteins are referred to as monoclonal gammopathies.
Erythrocytosis may occur in various cancers, especially renal cancers and hepatomas, due to ectopic production of erythropoietin or erythropoietin-like substances, and monoclonal gammopathies may sometimes be present.
