title: 'Indolent' Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia and a cerebrospinal fluid protein level of 16 g/L.
abstract: Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia occasionally presents with neurological manifestations. Very rarely, it is due to a central nervous system localization, the so-called Bing Neel Syndrome. We report a patient with an 'indolent' systemic disease and surprisingly a concomitant major CNS involvement.
