title: Long-term complete remission after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in multiple myeloma.
abstract: We report a case of IgG lambda type multiple myeloma treated by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. After transplant the monoclonal protein persisted for 2 years with no other sign of disease. Thereafter the monoclonal protein was no longer detectable and the patient was considered to be in complete remission for the next 4 years.
