BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: To report an unusual appearance of severe bilateral serous detachments in a patient with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.
METHODS: A case report of a Fifty-six-year-old female patient with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.
RESULTS: A patient with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia presented with serous retinal detachments at the time of diagnosis with Waldenstrom. The patient's IgM levels remained abnormally elevated in the initial stages of her disease course, leading to dramatic ocular findings and images on optical coherence tomography. Chemotherapy was initiated and IgM levels slowly declined, with some improvement in macular fluid as IgM normalized.
CONCLUSION: Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia may lead to dramatic retinal pathology if IgM levels remain elevated. Prompt chemotherapy and reduction of immunoglobulin levels should be undertaken to preserve retinal architecture.
