    Unexplained radiolucent filling defects in the kidney may indicate kappa light chain myeloma. Early consideration of multiple myeloma is crucial for patients with these radiological findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy.
    • Renal involvement is common in multiple myeloma.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with abdominal pain and unilateral ureteral obstruction.
    • Radiological studies revealed an intracalyceal radiolucent filling defect.
    • Years later, contralateral obstruction and multiple defects were observed.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with kappa light chain myeloma.
    • Intracalyceal radiolucent filling defects can be a sign of multiple myeloma.

    Implications:

    • Consider multiple myeloma in patients with unexplained radiolucent renal filling defects.
