Clinostatic syndrome in Waldenström macroglobulinemia

Joint Bone Spine. 2003 Aug;70(4):294-5. doi: 10.1016/s1297-319x(03)00017-4.

Abstract

We report a case of Waldenström macroglobulinemia revealed by clinostatic syndrome in an 81-year-old woman. A lytic lesion was found in the ilium and acetabulum. There was no evidence of transformation to high-grade lymphoma. Radiation therapy ensured complete resolution of the clinostatic syndrome within 1 month of treatment completion.
