Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell dyscrasia characterized by abnormal bone marrow clonal plasma cells, histological confirmation of plasmacytoma, monoclonal protein in serum or urine, and evidence of end-organ damage. Organ involvement in multiple myeloma manifests as CRAB (hyperCalcemia, Renal insufficiency, Anemia, lytic Bone lesions). Cutaneous complications in multiple myeloma have been reported in many different phenotypes such as cryoglobulinemia rash, bruising, amyloid deposition, and squamous cell carcinoma. However, cutaneous metastasis of multiple myeloma is very rare with fewer than 100 cases described in the literature so far. Here, we present a case of biopsy-confirmed primary cutaneous multiple myeloma. Our case has other less common features of multiple myeloma such as renal amyloidosis and a coexisting malignant melanoma. This case report describes a unique presentation of multiple myeloma to understand the disease better.
多发性骨髓瘤是一种浆细胞发育异常疾病,其特征为异常的骨髓克隆性浆细胞、浆细胞瘤的组织学确诊、血清或尿液中的单克隆蛋白以及终末器官损害的证据。多发性骨髓瘤的器官受累表现为CRAB(高钙血症、肾功能不全、贫血、溶骨性骨病变)。多发性骨髓瘤的皮肤并发症已有多种不同表型的报道,如冷球蛋白血症皮疹、瘀斑、淀粉样沉积和鳞状细胞癌。然而,多发性骨髓瘤的皮肤转移非常罕见,迄今为止文献中描述的病例不到100例。在此,我们报告一例经活检确诊的原发性皮肤多发性骨髓瘤病例。我们的病例具有多发性骨髓瘤其他较少见的特征,如肾淀粉样变性和并存的恶性黑色素瘤。本病例报告描述了多发性骨髓瘤的一种独特表现,以更好地了解该疾病。
