Multiple myeloma masquerading as a pulmonary mass: A rare presentation
شماره ركورد
26538
Abstract
Multiple myeloma represents malignant disorder of plasma cells. Tumour extension is primarily seen within the bone and bone marrow, despite widespread distribution of plasma cells in the body. Metastatic deposits outside bone marrow (extramedullary) are uncommon even in advanced multiple myeloma. Involvement of pulmonary parenchyma by myeloma cells either as plasmacytoma or as a pulmonary infiltrate is rare and is related to aggressive terminal phase of the disease. We are reporting a case of multiple myeloma with a pulmonary parenchymal mass as the initial presenting manifestation.
