Nodular liver lesions commonly represent solid tumour metastases. However, haematological neoplasms should also be considered as primary cause. Extramedullary infiltration of multiple myeloma with hepatic invasion at diagnosis is uncommon. We describe an unusual case of a woman presenting with multiple liver lesions initially suggesting disseminated solid tumour disease. She appeared to have widespread plasmablastic myeloma, an aggressive subtype of multiple myeloma, instead.

Plasmablastic Myeloma Presenting with Nodular Liver Lesions: Rare but Important to Recognize

Öz

Nodüler karaciğer lezyonları genellikle solid tümör metastazını gösterir. Bununla birlikte, hematolojik neoplazmalar bunların ana nedeni olarak kabul edilmelidir. Tanıda hepatik invazyonlu multipl miyelomun ekstrameduller infiltrasyonu oldukça nadirdir. Biz başlangıçta yaygın solid tümör hastalığı olan multipl karaciğer lezyonları ile başvuran bir kadın olgu sunulmaktadır. Olguda yaygın plazmablastik miyelom tutulumu mevcuttur

Anahtar Kelimeler

Multipl myeloma, plazmoblastik miyeloma, ekstramedulla, karaciğer metastazı, karaciğer lezyonu
