[Primary gastric plasmacytoma with IgG dysgammaglobulinemia and macrocytic anemia (author's transl)].
The authors report a case of a woman aged 76 years with a single plasmocytoma of the stomach secreting large quantities of a paraprotein of the IgG type with Kappa light chains. A macrocytic anemia due to deficiency of gastric intrinsic factor was also present. This pathological association is extremely rare. About sixty cases of gastric plasmocytoma are been reported in the published literature and their principal characteristics are briefly outlined.
