Gamma heavy chain disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis: a case report.

In case of monoclonal peak without complete monoclonal Ig on serum protein electrophoresis, the diagnosis of γ-HCD should be discussed and capillary electrophoresis/immune-subtraction is a mean to detect isolated monoclonal heavy chain (HC). Gamma-HC disease is rare, may be associated to RA, and may have an indolent course.
