Multiple myeloma commonly presents as anemia, renal failure, bone pain, and infections. Presentation with epistaxis is extremely rare, and hence myeloma as the etiologic factor is seldom considered. We report the case of a patient who initially presented with recurrent epistaxis and then with myasthenia. It was only when he developed acute kidney injury 4 months after the initial presentation with epistaxis that a diagnosis of multiple myeloma was made.
多发性骨髓瘤通常表现为贫血、肾衰竭、骨痛和感染。以鼻出血为表现极为罕见,因此很少考虑将骨髓瘤作为病因。我们报告一例患者,最初表现为反复鼻出血,随后出现肌无力。直到在首次鼻出血表现4个月后发生急性肾损伤时,才确诊为多发性骨髓瘤。
