Abstract
- Introduction: Monoclonal gammopathies are common over the age of 50. Patients are usually asymptomatic. However, some patients present with secondary clinical manifestations, which are now grouped under the entity « Monoclonal Gammopathy of Clinical Significance » (MGCS).<br />Case Report: Here, we report two rare cases of MGCS: an acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AvWS) and an acquired angioedema (AAE).<br />Conclusion: The discovery of a decrease in von Willebrand activity (vWF:RCo) or angioedema in a patient over 50 years of age, in the absence of a family history, should prompt a search for a hemopathy and in particular, a monoclonal gammopathy.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Société Nationale Française de Médecine Interne (SNFMI).
