Abstract:
Light chain multiple myeloma presenting as secondary cutaneous amyloidosis is an uncommon systemic manifestation, posing diagnostic challenges. We present a case of an elderly woman with a history of hemorrhoidal disease, who sought medical attention for what she thought was rectal bleeding. Initial examination revealed an ulcerative vulvar lesion. After extensive evaluation by different medical fields, two skin and a bone marrow biopsies, the diagnosis was finally confirmed. This case emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, comprehensive evaluation, and awareness of rare multiple myeloma manifestations. It highlights the importance of considering systemic implications even in localized presentations.
