Abstract:
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B-cell neoplasm that rounds 15% of all hematological malignancies. The typical clinical presentation of MM includes hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia and bone lesion (CRAB). Effusions due to MM may occur due to secondary involvement of other organs and rarely are present at the initial diagnosis. Anaplastic myeloma (AMM) is rare morphological variant of multiple myeloma with predisposition of extramedullary affection. Herein, we describe a case of malignant plasmacytic ascites at disease onset of anaplastic multiple myeloma.
