The authors report the main data of a series collected on a rheumatology unit where the bony signs were most obvious. Survival was comparable with that of large series in the literature. The prognosis seems to be linked to numerous factors therapeutic and etiologic (age, sex, type of monoclonal immunoglobulin) visceral and blood involvement. The diagnosis is now made earlier, but the differential diagnosis includes the other monoclonal immunoglobulin gammapathies.
