Non-secretory multiple myeloma relapsing as extramedullary liver plasmacytomas.

چکیده
We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with a true non secretory multiple myeloma of the producer type relapsing after many lines of therapy including the novel anti-myeloma drugs, which eventually relapsed as extramedullary liver plasmacytomas manifesting as a fatal acute cholestatic hepatitis. Due to the aggressiveness of this disease, new therapeutic modalities are necessary.

Clinical Diagnosis DYSPHAGIA SECONDARY TO A SOLITARY PLASMACYTOMA
Solitary plasmacytomas are tumors of plasma cell origin that constitute less than 10% of all plasma cell neoplasms. These tumors are categorized as extramedullary plasmacytomas (non-osseous) or solitary plasmacytomas of bone (osseous). Extramedullary plasmacytomas frequently remain localized and usually can be treated effectively with radiation therapy, whereas solitary plasmacytomas of bone fr...
متن کاملRelapse of Multiple Myeloma Presenting as Extramedullary Plasmacytomas in Multiple Organs
Multiple myeloma is a neoplastic plasma cell disorder. It is characterized by collections of abnormal plasma cells accumulating in the bone marrow, where they interfere with the production of normal blood cells. It usually presents as a multisystemic involvement, whose symptoms and signs vary greatly. Some patients have slowly progressive disease while others have aggressive clinical behavior b...
متن کاملIncidental Discovery of Multiorgan Extramedullary Plasmacytomas in the Setting of Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma and Delayed Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction
Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMPs) are defined by the presence of clonal plasma cell proliferation outside of the bone marrow, portending an overall poor prognosis. This case highlights extramedullary plasmacytomas as an unusual presenting manifestation of multiple myeloma. Through incidental discovery during a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction workup, EMPs were found in the liver, spleen...
متن کاملSolitary extramedullary and bone plasmacytomas versus multiple myeloma with extramedullary manifestation.
Extramedullary disease in plasma cell disorders can occur as a solitary plasmacytoma or can involve multiple sites with vastly different clinical outcomes. The article by Khaliq et al reports an unusual case of solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEP) of the bladder in which the patient had a favorable outcome with lenalidomide/dexamethasone after failing first-line treatment with radiotherap...
متن کاملSolitary extraosseous plasmacytoma
Plasma cell neoplasms are characterized by a neoplastic plasma cell lineage which produces a monoclonal immunoglobulin. These neoplasms can present as a single lesion (solitary plasmacytoma) or as multiple lesions (multiple myeloma). Solitary plasmacytomas most frequently occur in bone (plasmacytomas of bone), but can also be found outside bone in soft tissues (extramedullary plasmacytomas).
