“…The most common causes of pleurisy in MM are amyloidosis and heart failure, while pulmonary infarctions are uncommon in this context. Understanding the clinical manifestations and potential causes of pleurisy in MM is essential for appropriate management and prognostic assessment of the affected patients [ 4 ].…”

Despite being a rare occurrence, multiple myeloma (MM) has been reported as an alternative cause of pleurisy, with approximately 50 documented cases in the literature so far. In this case report, we present the clinical scenario of a patient who sought medical attention due to symptoms of dyspnea, chest pain, and weight loss. Through a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, it was determined that the patient's pleural involvement was attributable to MM, a hematological malignancy. This case highlights the importance of considering MM as a potential etiology in patients presenting with pleural manifestations, even in settings where tuberculosis is the prevailing cause.

Plasma cell myeloma (PCM) is rare in children and young adults and therefore may be difficult to diagnose. Here we report the clinicopathologic findings of 4 patients under the age of 30 diagnosed with PCM at our institution and summarize the literature about 48 other cases of PCM in this age group. The male:female ratio was 1.2:1 and the number of cases increased with age. Children and young adults with PCM often present with a plasmacytoma and are less likely to have asymptomatic PCM than their adult counterparts. From the cases that reported ethnicity, the majority (55%) were non-white suggesting a possible ethnic predisposition to PCM in this age group. PCM should be included in the differential diagnosis of mass lesions, especially a destructive bony lesion, after more common causes have been ruled out in this age group. The optimal treatment for PCM in this patient population is unclear and conclusions into this are hampered by the paucity of cases and the lack of standardized follow-up.
