The lung and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
We encountered a 47-year-old woman with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) manifested as lung involvement and endobronchial disease, without many of the other features common to the disease. In addition to the unusual aspects of this case, we review the clinical features of other reported cases of pulmonary involvement in WM.
