| Abstract: | Monoclonal gammopathies are a group of disorders characterized by the proliferation of a single clone of plasma cells. These plasma cells produce an immunologically homogeneous immunoglobulin, or parts thereof, also known as an M (for monoclonal) protein. This chapter will cover the epidemiology, clinical presentation, laboratory/pathological findings, diagnostic criteria, clinical management, and prognosis of 12 types of monoclonal gammopathies. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
