Myelofibrosis associated with multiple myeloma.

C Coughlin, E S Greenwald, W C Schraft

    Archives of Internal Medicine
    |April 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Multiple myeloma and myelofibrosis can co-occur in patients. In one case, myelofibrosis developed years after multiple myeloma, with the latter condition seemingly resolving possibly due to treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells.
    • Myelofibrosis is a bone marrow disorder characterized by fibrosis.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with concurrent multiple myeloma and myelofibrosis.
    • One patient showed autopsy confirmation of both conditions.
    • The second patient developed myelofibrosis years after initial diagnosis of k light chain multiple myeloma.

    Findings:

    • The second patient's multiple myeloma appeared to resolve, potentially linked to cyclophosphamide therapy.
    • Literature search identified two similar cases, suggesting a possible relationship between these hematologic malignancies.

    Implications:

    • The co-occurrence of multiple myeloma and myelofibrosis warrants further investigation.
    • Understanding the potential link may impact diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for these conditions.
