Microglioma with paraproteinaemia.
A case is reported in which a solitary intracerebral tumour of lymphoreticular cells (microglioma, reticulum cell sarcoma) was associated with the presence of a serum paraprotein. Extensive investigation failed to show any evidence of extracerebral reticulosis. Response of the paraprotein to treatment of the tumour is described.
