    Two patients with ulcerative colitis showed IgG monoclonal gammopathy and Bence-Jones proteinuria. These unique cases suggest a potential link between ulcerative colitis and specific protein abnormalities.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Hematology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Monoclonal gammopathies involve abnormal immunoglobulin production.
    • Bence-Jones proteinuria indicates excess light chains in urine.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with ulcerative colitis were identified.
    • Both patients exhibited IgG monoclonal gammopathy.
    • Both patients presented with Bence-Jones proteinuria.

    Findings:

    • The co-occurrence of ulcerative colitis with IgG monoclonal gammopathy and Bence-Jones proteinuria is rare.
    • Previous reports of this association were linked to myelomatous infiltration or amyloidosis.
    • These cases represent a unique presentation without these known complications.

    Implications:

    • These findings may indicate novel pathophysiological mechanisms linking inflammatory bowel disease and plasma cell dyscrasias.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the relationship between ulcerative colitis and monoclonal gammopathies.
    • This association could impact diagnostic and treatment strategies for affected patients.
