Unconventional Presentation of Multiple Myeloma: A Series of 4 Cases

Abstract

Plasma cell neoplasm and related disorders are clonal proliferation of immunoglobulin producing plasma cells. Most plasma cell abnormality originates as bone marrow tumor, but they occasionally present in extra medullary sites. We report a series of four cases of multiple myeloma diagnosed at Tertiary care hospital. They presented as acute renal failure at young age, primary amyloidosis tongue, non-specific back pain and as extra medullary dissemination in pulmonary parenchyma. We have reported these cases in order to demonstrate the variability in the presentation of multiple myeloma. These uncommon presentation can easily be missed and give us insight for considering the possibility of multiple myeloma with uncommon findings.
