Abstract

Light chain disease is a rare type of plasma cell neoplasm. Its clinical feature is similar
to that of other myeloma but its survival time is shorter than others and it secretes
different type of M-conponent.
The department of Clinical Pathology, Severance hospital, has run
immunoelectrophoretic studies for the last 2 years and detected a case of Light chain
disease recently. A relative hypogammaglobulinemia was found on the ordinary gerum
electrophoresis.
On the immunoelectrophoretic study, an antigen excess with deformation on the medical
protion of IgG line on polyvalent antiserum and a deformation with partial identity on
Kappa antiserum was noticed but the other fractions are of normal pattern.
This is to report the case with clinical history and laboratory studies. A brief review
of current literature is added.
