Malabsorption syndrome with IgG(lambda) M component: response to chemotherapy.
A patient with malabsorption syndrome and steatorrhea was found to have IgG (lambda) M component in the blood and some extracellular deposition of IgG in the intestinal wall. There was no evidence of multiple myeloma. He responded favourably to intermittent courses of melphalan and prednisone.

[Alpha-chain disease presenting as malabsorption syndrome with exudative enteropathy (author's transl)].
A 30-year-old Turk was admitted with signs of exudative enteropathy together with malabsorption. There was no improvement on a gluten-free diet. Immunological investigations demonstrated atypical IgA-immunoglobulin in the serum which did not precipitate with antisera against L-chains. Peroral ileal biopsy and surgical biopsy material showed a diffuse proliferation of plasma cells in an altered ileal mucosa and in the mesenteric lymph nodes. Skeletal X-rays showed no osteolysis and the bone marrow showed no evidence for multiple myeloma. Treatment with melphalan and steroids resulted in a three year remission. In the terminal stage an intra-abdominal malignant lymphoma developed.
