Trying to tease apart all the different ways myeloid diseases are classified; e.g.
id: NCIT:C4665
name: Plasma Cell Neoplasm
def: "A clonal proliferation of immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells. This category includes plasma cell myeloma, plasma cell leukemia, plasmacytoma, monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease, and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance." []
However, MGUS is not classified as a neoplasm in NCIT, it is a precancerous condition.

This is consistent with what we discussed in https://github.com/EBISPOT/efo/issues/149
Is this part of the definition correct?
Is the definition as a whole correct? Are all clonal proliferation of immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells necessarily neoplastic?
