Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell neoplasm associated with features of hypercalcemia, renal dysfunction and acquired immune abnormalities. We are reporting a rare case of an 80-year-old multiple myeloma patient with progressive disease with standard chemotherapy and developed cutaneous nodular lesion and pleural effusion. Biopsy of the skin nodule and pleural fluid cytology was suggestive of myelomatous infiltration. Simultaneous pleural and skin involvement is rarely reported in the literature. Such cases are scarcely reported, poorly understood and thus we intend to add to the scientific committee.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
