[Urologic manifestation of Waldenström's disease. Apropos of a case with pyelo-ureteral location].
The authors report a case of Waldenström's disease in which the initial staging assessment reveals an isolated tumour of the left upper urinary tract. Combination chemotherapy (6 courses of protocol M2) induced a marked reduction in the monoclonal IgM peak and in the tumour mass. In the light of this atypical case, which emphasises the diversity of the potential sites of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia, the authors review its potential for progression and the various therapeutic modalities available.
