title: [Monoclonal gammopathies in the aged].
abstract: 60 cases of monoclonal (benign and malignant) are presented. All the patients are divided into two sub-groups according to the age (until and after 65th years old).

The differences between the two groups with respect to different types of gammapathy, median survival rates, response to therapy, are discussed.
