A number of common disorders of the peripheral nervous system are closely linked to a monoclonal gammopathy. In a minority of patients, the neuropathy represents the sentinel feature of a malignant plasma cell dyscrasia, such as multiple myeloma or its osteosclerotic variant, Waldenstrom's disease,
The incidence of hematological malignancy in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) has been assessed as 17% to 25%. To ascertain whether this is true of neuropathy associated with MGUS, a long-term (5-42 years) retrospective clinical and neurophysiological follow-up
