Monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance
MONDO:0004225A condition characterized by the presence of a monoclonal gammopathy (MG) in which the clonal mass has not reached a predefined state in which the condition is considered malignant. Up to 25% of cases of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) progress to a B-cell malignancy or myeloma. MGUS may occur in conjunction with various carcinomas, chronic inflammatory and infectious conditions, and other diseases.
Also known as: MGUS, benign monoclonal gammopathy, monoclonal gammopathy Of undetermined significance (MGUS), monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (morphologic abnormality), monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance, monoclonal gammopathy, benign
