CHIEF COMPLAINT: MGUS.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This is an extremely pleasant 86-year-old gentleman, who I follow for his MGUS. I initially saw him for thrombocytopenia when his ANC was 1300. A bone marrow biopsy was obtained. Interestingly enough, at the time of his bone marrow biopsy, his hemoglobin was 13.0 and his white blood cell count was 6.5 with a platelet count of 484,000. His bone marrow biopsy showed a normal cellular bone marrow; however, there were 10% plasma cells and we proceeded with the workup for a plasma cell dyscrasia. All his tests came back as consistent with an MGUS.

Overall, he is doing well. Since I last saw him, he tells me that he has had onset of atrial fibrillation. He has now started going to the gym two times per week, and has lost over 10 pounds. He has a good energy level and his ECOG performance status is 0. He denies any fever, chills, or night sweats. No lymphadenopathy. No nausea or vomiting. No change in bowel or bladder habits.
