Abstract:
This paper presents the results of monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) determination in 202 patients with malignant lymphoma, 51 with Hodgkin's disease (HD) and 151 with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) including 4 patients with mycosis fungoides and 1 with pleomorphic T-cell lymphomas studied from Aug. 1980 to July. 1982. No monoclonal Ig was detected in 4 patients with mycosis fungoides, 51 with HD and 204 normal controls. In the rest 146 patients with NHL, 13 had monoclonal Ig (9%). The types and quantities of monoclonal Ig are discussed. We consider that the presence of monoclonal Ig may be one of the important characteristics of NHL.
