Management of intraoral bleeding in patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia: A protocol proposal.

Aim: Waldenström macroglobulinemia is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with poor prognosis observed in patients with hyperviscosity syndrome because of its tendency for fatal symptoms. This study investigated the risk of intraoral bleeding in patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia based on hyperviscosity syndrome stage and oral health status, and described potential strategies for managing intraoral bleeding.

Methods And Results: Between April 2012 and March 2017, seven patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia underwent dental procedures or tooth extraction.
