In a series of 2038 paraproteinemic sera, 9 IgD paraproteins (0.44%) were found. Clinical diagnosis of all the 9 was multiple myeloma. One patient had an IgD-lambda plasmacytoma which developed into plasmocellular leukemia. Our series of IgD paraproteins consisted of 6 females and 3 males with a mean age of 58.5 years. The mean concentrations of IgD paraproteins were 6.7 +/- 4.26 g/l and the mean proteinuria was 5.1 +/- 4.76 g/24 h. Eight IgD paraproteins had light chains lambda and one had light chains kappa.
