Abstract Monoclonal gammopathy‐associated pure red cell aplasia (MG‐PRCA) is characterized by the absence or pronounced hypoplasia of erythroid precursors in the bone marrow, causing reticulocytopenia and a normocytic, normochromic anaemia in a patient with a monoclonal plasma cell dyscrasia. We report here on the successful treatment of MG‐PRCA with isatuximab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone after multiple lines of immunosuppressive and anti‐plasma cell‐directed treatments.
