Pleural effusion caused by multiple myeloma is uncommon. This case highlights a rare instance of myelomatous pleural effusion with soft tissue extension and congestive heart failure.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pulmonology
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Multiple myeloma, a plasma cell malignancy, can rarely infiltrate the pleura.
  • Pleural effusions are an infrequent manifestation of myelomatous disease.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a rare case of pleural effusion secondary to myelomatous involvement.
  • The patient also exhibited soft tissue extension from the iliac bone.

Findings:

  • The myelomatous pleural effusion contributed to the patient's clinical presentation.
  • The combination of myelomatous pleural effusion, iliac bone soft tissue extension, and congestive heart failure presented a complex clinical scenario.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering myelomatous involvement in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions, especially in patients with known multiple myeloma.

  • Understanding these rare presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of multiple myeloma complications.
  • Further research into the mechanisms and management of myelomatous pleural effusions may improve patient outcomes.
