Abstract
Plasma cell acid phosphatase was studied in 51 patients, 30 of whom were affected with multiple myeloma (MM) and 21 with nonmyelomatous monoclonal immunoglobulinemias (NMMI). Scoring of results displayed a highly significant difference between the median of the MM and NMMI group (343 vs. 204). The use of plasma cell acid phosphatase as a further criterion in the differential diagnosis of monoclonal immunoglobulinemiasis was emphasized.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
