Peripheral nerve infiltration by myeloma cells is rare. This case study details multiple myeloma affecting the femoral and ulnar nerves, presenting as soft tissue masses with nerve involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy that can affect various organ systems.
  • While central nervous system involvement is known, peripheral nerve infiltration is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of multiple myeloma infiltrating peripheral nerves.
  • The infiltration affected a branch of the right femoral nerve and the left ulnar nerve.

Findings:

  • Myeloma cell infiltration manifested as soft tissue masses along the affected nerves.
  • Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed thickened nerves within these masses.

Implications:

  • This case highlights an unusual presentation of multiple myeloma.
