“…Neoplastic infiltration of the thoracic skeleton, particularly of the ribs, may interfere with chest wall mechanics. Infiltration of the lung or pleu ra by neoplastic cells has been occasionally reported [10]. Our patient did not have significant involvement of ribs and dorsal vertebrae, nor had chest x-ray and CT scan shown lung or pleural involvement.…”

“…10) Malignant pleural effusion in MM is extremely rare, occurring in less than 1% of patients. 4) In Korea, only two cases of myeloma with associated MPE have been reported to date, one IgG-kappa and one IgD-lambda, 3,9) and its prevalence has not been reported. In the present study, myelomatous effusion was diagnosed by detection of IgA-lambda type monoclonal immunoglobulin and atypical plasma cells in the pleural fluid.…”

“…2,3) Pleural effusion in MM has been reported in less than 6% of cases and myelomatous pleural effusion (MPE) is extremely rare (<1%). 4,5) MPE is most commonly associated with IgA or IgG myeloma and very rarely with IgD or light chain myeloma. [6][7][8][9] Only two cases of MPE associated with MM have been reported in Korea to date: one with IgG-kappa and the other with IgD-lambda myeloma.…”

“…Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare type of tumor, comprising about 4-6% of plasma cell malignancies [1,2] and occurring mostly in the neck and head regions. EMP should be differentiated from other groups of plasmacytic neoplasms, such as solitary mye- loma of bone (SMB) and multiple myeloma (MM), which are similar histologically but clinically dissimilar to EMP [2][3][4][5].…”
