Plasma Cell Myeloma Initially Presenting as Lung Cancer
Plasma cell myeloma (PCM) is a malignant hematologic disease characterized by the proliferation of neoplastic plasma cells, producing excessive amounts of monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) or light chain (LC) [1, 2]. Although plasma cells are widely distributed throughout the body, PCM is found most often within the bone and bone marrow (BM), while the dissemination of extramedullary plasmacytoma ...
متن کاملNon-small Cell Lung Cancer Initially Presenting with Intracardiac Metastasis
Intracardiac metastasis as the initial presentation of malignant neoplasm is very rare. We report here on a 64-year-old man with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) initially presenting with intracardiac metastasis which was identified with 18-F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET). The patient was admitted with complaints of exertional dyspnea and vague chest discomfort tha...
متن کاملNon-secretory multiple myeloma presenting as primary plasma cell leukaemia.
A case of non-secretory multiple myeloma presenting as primary plasma cell leukaemia in a 65 year old woman is presented. Bone pain was the initial clinical manifestation. Laboratory analysis showed 20% of circulating immature plasma cells. Despite the presence of osteolytic lesions, no M-component could be demonstrated in serum protein electrophoresis, and serum and urine immunoelectrophoresis...
متن کاملDisseminated plasma cell myeloma presenting as massive pleural effusion.
Plasma cell myeloma (PCM) is a hematologic malignancy of plasma cell origin and usually associated with the presence of lytic bone lesions. Pleural effusions are rarely associated with PCM and most often signify a concurrent disease process. Malignant myelomatous pleural effusions are even more unusual and carry a poor prognosis. We report a unique case of unsuspected PCM with thoracic involvem...
متن کاملMultiple Myeloma Presenting as Respiratory Stridor
Extramedullary plasmacytoma occurs in 18% of patients with multiple myeloma. Laryngeal involvement in multiple myeloma is rare, and only a few cases have been reported. We present a case of a 44-year-old women with multiple myeloma who presented with stridor due to a mass involving the larynx which was initially proven to be plasmacytoma on biopsy. She had evidence of multiple myeloma of IgA la...
