Abstract
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired hematopoietic stem cell clinical disease, which has been reported associated with T cell monoclonal expansion and plasma cell dyscrasias. There we reported a case with a 20-year clinical history of PNH. Lately diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia with the offered evidences of bone marrow examination, flow cytometry and immunofixation electrophoresis. T cell monoclonal expansion was established by polymerase chain reaction. Meanwhile the decreased expression of CD55 and CD59 on neutrophils and erythrocyte were obvious observed. Here we describe the diagnostic evaluation of this patient and provide a brief review of such clonal disorder.Entities:
