Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy and a subtype of plasma cell dyscrasias, which accounts for 13% of all hematologic malignancies. It mainly affects older adults and is diagnosed in only 2% of the young population under the age of 40 years. This report presents a 33-year-old man diagnosed with Multiple myeloma with 4 poor prognostic specifications consisting of amplification of the 1q21, Translocation of t(4;14), deletion of the 6q21 and 13q14, along with decreased chromosome count to 44, X,-Y. Even though the combination of 4 poor prognostic cytogenetics in young patients is rare, he responded significantly to the Bortezomib regimen. He was selected as a candidate for bone marrow transplantation. The treatments get interrupted 2 days after the first session of the fifth cycle due to an undesirable COVID-19 infection. After 20 days, the symptoms return, and paraclinical findings show signs of MM relapse.
多发性骨髓瘤是一种血液系统恶性肿瘤,也是浆细胞发育异常的一种亚型,占所有血液系统恶性肿瘤的13%。它主要影响老年人,在40岁以下的年轻人群中仅有2%被诊断出此病。本报告介绍了一名33岁的男性,被诊断为多发性骨髓瘤,具有4个不良预后特征,包括1q21扩增、t(4;14)易位、6q21和13q14缺失,以及染色体数目减少至44条,X,-Y。尽管年轻患者中出现4种不良预后细胞遗传学特征的组合很罕见,但他对硼替佐米方案有显著反应。他被选为骨髓移植的候选人。在第五周期的第一次治疗后2天,由于意外感染新冠病毒,治疗中断。20天后,症状复发,辅助检查结果显示有多发性骨髓瘤复发的迹象。
