title: [Peripheral neuropathies and hemopathies].
abstract: In our experience, the incidence of an association between peripheral neuropathy and hemopathy is around 7%. The corresponding nerve involvement may reveal or complicate a known hemopathy. The exact cause-effect relationship is not always easy to identify. We discuss here the peripheral nerve complications of acute leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders, monoclonal dysglobulinemia, non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease. The peripheral neuropathy arising in cases of monoclonal dysglobulinemia, non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma have most benefited from ultrastructural examination and advances in immunological and immunocytochemical techniques. Accurate determination of the lesional mechanism should help devise appropriate therapeutic strategies.
