Article Abstract

Presentation of multiple myeloma with bone lesions is common. It is vital that differentiation between nonsecretory multiple myeloma and plasmocytoma be done and that each disorder be treated accordingly. In this paper, we present a patient with nonsecretory multiple myeloma, who suffered from distal humerus fracture with severe bone destruction, renal failure, hypercalcemia and anemia.

Background: Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy, characterized by the accumulation of monoclonal plasmocytes in the bone marrow. Despite advancements with proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, and CD38-targeting antibodies, MM remains largely incurable due to resistant clones and frequent relapses. The success of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) in MM treatment highlights the critical role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in this disease.

Despite the improvements in outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) over the past decade, the disease remains incurable, and even those patients who initially respond favorably to induction therapy eventually suffer from relapse. Consequently, there is an urgent need for the development of novel therapeutic agents and strategies to enhance the treatment outcomes for patients with MM. The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) elicits endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and oxidative stress in MM cells, subsequent DNA damage, ultimately inducing cell apoptosis.

Patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT) face elevated risks of infections. Additionally, patients colonized in the gastrointestinal tract with antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) are at higher risk of infection with ARB and other infections. Therefore, patients colonized with ARB before auto-SCT should present with an exceptionally high incidence of infections.
