A case report of a salivary amylase secreting plasmacytoma in a patient with multiple myeloma.

A 70-year-old lady with a past medical history of light chain myeloma, chronic renal failure and a left breast plasmacytoma treated with radiotherapy was admitted for drainage of a subsequent left pleural effusion. She was given high dose steroids for her myeloma, following which she developed abdominal pain suspicious of pancreatitis. Results revealed a raised serum amylase of 5117, a modified Glasgow score of 3 and normal calcium levels.
