We describe a rare case of metastatic prostate cancer to bone marrow and synchronous multiple myeloma as the second malignant disease. Various diagnostic procedures, including cytomorphology and immunohistochemistry analyses together contributed to the detection of metastasis of prostate cancer and synchronous plasma cell proliferation in the bone marrow. The association between these two disorders is poorly understood however, some studies show that bone marrow microenvironment may play a crucial role. The need for further research in this regard is required to unfold this fascinating association.
我们描述了一例罕见的前列腺癌骨髓转移病例,同时伴有作为第二种恶性疾病的同步性多发性骨髓瘤。包括细胞形态学和免疫组织化学分析在内的各种诊断程序共同促成了前列腺癌转移及骨髓中同步性浆细胞增殖的检测。然而,这两种疾病之间的关联尚不清楚,不过一些研究表明骨髓微环境可能起关键作用。需要在这方面进行进一步研究以揭示这种引人入胜的关联。
