Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM), neoplastic proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells in bone marrow, constitutes 1% of cancers. We discuss a rare case of newly diagnosed MM presenting to the emergency department with sudden strength loss in both legs and inability to walk, together with the current literature. Impaired balance and 2/5 strength loss in the bilateral lower extremities was determined in a 42-year-old man presenting due to weakness in both legs and inability to walk, noticed on waking in the morning. At blood tests, uric acid was 8.4 mg/dl, total protein 98.8 g/L, globulin 60.8 g/L. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass between T2 and T4 vertebrae. At mass biopsy immunohistochemical investigation, lesion cluster of differentiation (CD)38, CD138, endomysial antibody, kappa and lambda cells exhibited immune reactions. Serum IgA was 0.27 g/L, IgM 0.28 g/L, IgG 44.36 g/L, beta-2 microglobulin 4.78 mg/L, lambda light chain 0.230 g/L, and kappa light chain 5.25 g/L. Mass biopsy revealed plasma cell tumor, with atypical plasma cells at 52%, which was compatible with MM at bone marrow aspiration biopsy. Neoplastic plasma cell proliferation should be considered for differential diagnosis in sudden strength loss in the lower extremities.

Nadir bir olgu: Akut parapleji ile acil servise prezente olan yeni tanı multipl myelom

Abstract

Kemik iliğinde monoklonal plazma hücrelerinin neoplastik proliferasyonu olan multipl myelom (MM), tüm kanserlerin %1’ini oluşturur. Bu yazıda ani gelişen her iki bacakta kuvvet kaybı ve yürüyememe şikayeti ile acil servise müracaat eden hastada tespit edilen ve nadir görülen yeni tanı MM literatür eşliğinde tartışmayı amaçladık. Sabah farkettiği her iki bacakta kuvvet kaybı ve yürüyememe şikayeti ile acil servise başvuran 42 yaşında erkek hastanın alt extremitelerinde 2/5 kuvvet kaybı ile beraber dengesini sağlamada bozukluk tespit edildi. Kan tetkiklerinde ürik asit 8,4 mg/dl, total protein 98,8 g/L, globülin 60,8 g/L olarak tespit edildi. Manyetik rezonans görüntülemede torakal (T)2 -T4 vertebralar arasında kitle izlendi. Kitle biyopsisi immünohistokimyasal çalışmada lezyona ait hücreler cluster of differentiation (CD)38, CD138, endomysial antibody, kappa ve lambda ile immün reaksiyon gösterdiği gözlendi. Serum IgA 0,27 g/L, IgM 0,28 g/L, IgG 44,36 g/L, beta-2 mikroglobulin 4,78 mg/L, lambda hafif zincir 0,230 g/L, kappa hafif zincir 5,25 g/L olduğu tespit edildi. Kitlenin biyopsi incelemesi plazma hücreli tümör, kemik iliği aspirasyon biyopsisi ise MM ile uyumlu ve atipik plazma hücreleri %52 olduğu tespit edildi. Hastada MM düşünüldü. Alt extremitelerde ani gelişen kuvvet kaybı şikayetiyle acil servise müracaat eden hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda plazma hücrelerinin neoplastik proliferasyonu olabileceği düşünülmelidir.
