title: [Three cases of IgM monoclonal gammopathy with haemostasis dysfunction].
abstract: We relate three cases of IgM gammopathy with haemostatic dysfunction in the perioperative period. The acquired von Willebrand syndrome due to IgM gammopathy is rare and sometimes serious. Its different treatments and their efficiency are discussed: desmopressin, intravenous gammaglobulin, chemotherapy and plasmapheresis.
