World J Clin Cases. 2021 May 26;9(15):3675-3679. doi: 10.12998/wjcc.v9.i15.3675. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is rare and easily misdiagnosed. Most patients are first diagnosed with MGUS. We report a rare case of MGUS secondary to infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma. We also review the literature to analyze the clinical characteristics and diagnostic methods. CASE SUMMARY: A 51-year-old woman underwent modified radical mastectomy for infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the right breast and was then treated with radiation and chemotherapy. A decreased platelet count was found on routine blood examination, and MGUS was subsequently diagnosed. This is the first report of the occurrence of MGUS after breast cancer surgery. CONCLUSION: Vigilance is required to distinguish this rare comorbidity from breast plasmacytoma. PMID:34046469 | PMC:PMC8130065 | DOI:10.12998/wjcc.v9.i15.3675 View on the web Inoreader.
