    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy.
    • Pancoast's syndrome is a rare complication.

    Observation:

    • A 74-year-old patient with IgG multiple myeloma developed right Pancoast's syndrome 7 months after diagnosis.
    • Imaging revealed an extrapleural tumor.
    • Fine needle aspiration confirmed plasma cells.

    Findings:

    • The tumor was identified as a plasmacytoma causing Pancoast's syndrome.
    • Radiotherapy led to partial tumor reduction.
    • The patient ultimately died from pneumonia.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights an unusual presentation of multiple myeloma.
    • Emphasizes the need for vigilance in diagnosing rare myeloma complications.
    • Underscores the importance of timely and accurate therapeutic interventions.
