Myelomatous pleural effusion (MPE) is an uncommon clinical entity and occurs in less than 1% of all patients with multiple myeloma. MPE indicates a progression of disease, therefore is associated with a poor prognosis and estimated median survival of <3 months. Treatment of MPE is challenging, and the data regarding the role of novel agents lack in the literature. Herein, we report a relapsed IgA myeloma case of a patient presenting with MPE, who was treated with pomalidomide with a very good partial response.
浆细胞瘤性胸腔积液(MPE)是一种罕见的临床病症,不到所有多发性骨髓瘤患者的 1%会发生这种情况。MPE 表明疾病进展,因此与预后不良相关,估计中位生存期<3 个月。MPE 的治疗具有挑战性,并且文献中缺乏关于新型药物作用的数据。在此,我们报告了一例复发的 IgA 骨髓瘤病例,该患者表现为 MPE,接受了泊马度胺治疗,获得了非常好的部分缓解。
