hiperviscosidade, resultante da gamopatia monoclonal IgM
e/ou com as citopenias, resultantes da infiltração medular
pelo linfoma. O diagnóstico diferencial com outros linfo-
mas é essencial para a avaliação do prognóstico e a aborda-
gem terapêutica.
O tratamento dos doentes com MW assintomática não
melhora a qualidade de vida do doente nem aumenta a
sua sobrevivência, recomendando-se o acompanhamen-
to clínico. Para o tratamento dos doentes sintomáticos,
são usados agentes alquilantes, análogos das purinas e
anticorpos monoclonais anti-CD20. No entanto, a doen-
ça é incurável e a resposta à terapêutica nem sempre é fa-
vorável. Estudos relativamente recentes mostram resul-
tados promissores com o bortezomibe, um inibidor dos
proteossomas, e alguns doentes respondem à talidomi-
da. Nos doentes com recidivas ou refratários à terapêuti-
ca, pode-se indicar o transplante autólogo.
O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever, de forma detalha-
da, o conhecimento atual sobre a fisiopatologia da MW,
as principais manifestações clínicas, o diagnóstico, o prog-
nóstico e o tratamento.
