ABSTRACT

Multiple myeloma (MM) is described as a clonal plasma B-cell hematological malignancy. The proliferation of plasma cells produces monoclonal heavy or light chain proteins. The lytic lesions (also known as salt and pepper pattern) in skull X-Ray are pathognomonic for MM, and can also be found in vertebrae, ribs, pelvis and long bones. This paper reports the case of a 54-year-old female patient with MM initially diagnosed with renal failure, years later multiple myeloma was identified as the etiology of the renal failure. The patient received an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) followed by a renal transplant one year later. After 3 years of the HSCT the patient is in complete remission with improved renal function.
