Abstract Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM)/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) is often differentiated from myeloma based on the presence of lytic bone lesions (LBL). However, WM/LPL can present with LBL, and management is poorly understood. We describe a case of an 81‐year‐old woman with LPL who presented with LBL and was successfully treated with chemoimmunotherapy.
