Multiple myeloma with myelomatous ascites
Keywords:
ascites, multiple myeloma, myelomatous ascitesAbstract
Myelomatous ascites is a rare clinical manifestation of multiple myeloma and may be associated with the advanced-stage disease. The case of an elderly man was presented with new-onset ascites, progressive back pain and renal failure. Microscopic examination of the ascites fluid revealed numerous abnormal plasma cells, while a bone marrow biopsy confirmed multiple myeloma. The patient did not respond to a bortezomib-dexamethasone regimen and experienced the progression and complications of the disease.
