Light-chain multiple myeloma (LCMM) is a rare subtype of plasma cell neoplasm, usually linked to kidney involvement and lytic bone lesions. However, case presents as osseus tumors are very uncommon. A 63-year-old male patient complained of persistent rib pain. Computed tomographic imaging showed an isolated bone tumor in the eighth rib. Further positron emission tomography-computed tomographic scan revealed multiple lytic bone lesions in other areas. Biopsy of the rib lesion confirmed the presence of plasma cells producing kappa light chains. The patient received 4 cycles of daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone treatments, resulting in significant improvement. Reviewing literatures, osseus tumor with osteosclerotic lesions has been rarely described in LCMM, underlining the challenge in diagnosis and stressing the importance of considering LCMM in the differential diagnosis of bone tumors.
轻链多发性骨髓瘤(LCMM)是浆细胞肿瘤的一种罕见亚型,通常与肾脏受累和溶骨性骨病变有关。然而,以骨肿瘤形式出现的病例非常少见。一名63岁男性患者主诉持续性肋骨疼痛。计算机断层扫描成像显示第八肋骨有一个孤立的骨肿瘤。进一步的正电子发射断层扫描 - 计算机断层扫描显示其他部位有多个溶骨性骨病变。肋骨病变活检证实存在产生κ轻链的浆细胞。该患者接受了4个周期的达雷妥尤单抗、硼替佐米、来那度胺和地塞米松治疗,病情显著改善。回顾文献,LCMM中很少描述有骨硬化性病变的骨肿瘤,这凸显了诊断的挑战,并强调了在骨肿瘤鉴别诊断中考虑LCMM的重要性。
