A 41-year-old male with IgG kappa multiple myeloma is described. He developed a free gamma heavy chain without an accompanying light chain following high-dose chemotherapy and autologous


peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. The free gamma heavy chain was detected in serum and urine specimens 2 months after transplant, and eventually evolved into an IgG kappa


monoclonal protein with electrophoretic properties similar to the original myeloma protein. Although the origin of the free gamma heavy chain remains uncertain, it was most likely related to


the underlying plasma cell malignancy and, therefore, was an early sign of disease relapse. Bone Marrow Transplantation (2001) 27, 663–666.
