Differentiation of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and multiple myeloma using flow cytometric characteristics of plasma cells.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:The differential diagnosis between multiple myeloma (MM) and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) may be uncertain in some cases; this problem is reflected by discrepancies between different classification systems with an accordance in only 2/3 of cases. We studied whether flow-cytometric characteristics of plasma cells (PC) can be used for the differentiation between MGUS and MM. DESIGN AND METHODS:Patients were divided into 3 groups: Group A included 13 myeloma patients with a plasma cell infiltration of the bone marrow of 10-30%, serum M-protein < or = 3.5 g/dL (IgG) or < or = 2 g/dl (IgA) and without bone lesions in conventional radiography. Group B consisted of 53 patients who fulfilled the Durie and Salmon diagnostic criteria including at least one major criterion, and group C individuals with MGUS (n=17). The ratio of immunophenotypically normal (i.e. CD19(+)/CD56(-)) to all bone marrow plasma cells (BMPC), the number of peripheral blood PC (PBPC), the percentage of BMPC in S-phase and the DNA content of BMPC were analyzed. RESULTS:All individuals with MGUS and no patient with MM in group A or group B had a ratio of phenotypically normal to all BMPC > or = 20%. The median of monoclonal PBPC was 0/microL (range 0-2/ microL) in MGUS, 1/microL (range 0-30/microL) in MM group A and 2.4/microL (range 0-211/microL) in MM group B. The median percentage of BMPC in S-phase was 1.6% both in MGUS and in group A and 3% in group B. Aneuploidy was found in 12%, 11% and 41% in MGUS, group A and group B, respectively. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS:The ratio of immunophenotypically normal to all BMPC was the only flow-cytometric parameter for the differentiation of MGUS and MM group A (p<0.0005). The other parameters were significantly different between MGUS and MM group B, but not group A.
