“…Kumar et al conducted a study on a 32-year-old female patient with bilateral paraparesia and myelopathy and found extramedullary epidural plasmacytoma of the thoracic spine associated with normal renal function and normal bone marrow biopsy results (7). Furthermore, some reports of MM and thorax or lung plasmacytoma have been documented; for example, Velasco-Álvarez, et al reported a 67-old male with MM and extramedullary plasmacytoma in the plural cavity (8). In addition, Saha et al reported a 60-year-old man with chest pain and weight loss, left upper lobe mass with a lytic lesion of adjacent rib and vertebra, and a final diagnosis of MM with extramedullary plasmacytoma (9).…”

Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare and unusual complication of multiple myeloma (MM). Some sites for the extramedullary involvement of MM are the liver, spleen, lymph node, lung, and skin. Renal failure is another complication of MM due to myeloma kidney, uric acid nephropathy, hemoconcentration, or light chain disease. This study reported a case of MM with unusual presentation. She was a 61-year-old woman who was admitted to the internal ward due to severe renal failure, anemia, mild proteinuria, hypertension, thrombocytopenia, and soft tissue mass in both lungs in the spiral computed tomography (CT) scan. In the skull X-ray, there was not any lytic lesion. Further, plasma cells greater than 30% were observed in serum protein electrophoresis pick of gamma region and in the bone marrow aspiration, so the final diagnosis of the patients was MM with extramedullary plasmacytoma.
