Background:

  • Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder, primarily affecting the elderly.
  • It is the second most common hematologic malignancy, accounting for 10% of all blood cancers.
  • MM typically involves bones and kidneys, but extraskeletal manifestations are less common.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of multiple myeloma with cutaneous involvement.
  • Skin manifestations in multiple myeloma are infrequently observed.
  • The case underscores the importance of considering MM in patients with unexplained skin lesions.

Findings:

  • The study presents a unique case of multiple myeloma exhibiting skin manifestations.
  • This finding expands the known clinical spectrum of multiple myeloma.

  • It emphasizes that skin involvement, though rare, can occur in MM.

    • Implications:

    • This case contributes to the understanding of multiple myeloma's systemic effects.
    • Recognizing skin involvement in MM can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment.
    • Further research into the mechanisms of cutaneous MM is warranted.
