Objective:
To analyses and summarize a case of multiple myeloma with disseminated infiltration in central nervous system.
Methods:
The results of laboratorial examination and clinical data were analyzed and compared in the light of published literatures.
Results:
The headache and diplopia were caused by infiltration of multiple myeloma cells to the central nervous system. Unlike those reported in the literatures, this case was a rare case of disseminated infiltration inside the brain, and plasma cells were CD56+, this patient has not yet accepted any multiple myeloma-associated treatment as like that reported in the literatures. And different from cases reported, this patient showed a good response to the intrathecal chemotherapy.
Conclusion:
Whether this good response is due to a heterogeneity of MM or effect of treatment-associated drug is still to be decided.
