Resumo
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a plasma cell disorder that can precede the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. MGUS is characterized by the presence of a monoclonal paraprotein without evidence of multiple myeloma or other lymphoplasmacytic malignancies. Even though MGUS is an asymptomatic condition that does not require management strategies other than periodic follow-up to prevent complications, secondary nonmalignant diseases may arise, requiring control of the plasma cell clone. Acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) is a rare bleeding disorder that occurs in patients with no prior personal or family history of bleeding. It is associated with several other disorders, such as neoplasia, mainly hematological (including MGUS and other lymphoproliferative disorders), autoimmune, infectious and cardiac diseases. At diagnosis, patients usually present with cutaneous and mucosal bleeding, including gastrointestinal bleeding. Here, we report a case of a patient with MGUS who developed AVWS after one year of follow-up. The patient was refractory to glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide and achieved remission only after monoclonal paraprotein was eradicated following treatment with bortezomib and dexamethasone. Our report sdemonstrates that, for refractory cases, eradication of the monoclonal paraprotein may be necessary to treat bleeding complications due to MGUS-associated AVWS.
