A member asked:
How are benign and malignant paraproteinemia different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different causes: Malignant paraproteinemia is a harmful presence of a single kind of antibody, made by a known malignancy such as lymphoma or myeloma. Benign paraproteinemia is a harmful presence of a single kind of antibody in someone who has no such malignancy. It is presumably due to a benign clonal expansion of one type of lymphocyte.
