Article Synopsis
  • Multiple myeloma (MM) initially manifesting in the sphenoid sinus and skull base is rare, with a systematic review of 34 cases highlighting the challenges of early diagnosis and treatment, particularly for the IgD-λ subtype.
  • A unique case of IgD-λ MM showed symptoms like dizziness and blindness, leading to a confirmed diagnosis and a wide range of diagnostic tests, including advanced imaging and biopsies.
  • The study emphasizes the importance of using CT and MRI scans for detecting bone damage, and suggests that endoscopic procedures are effective for tissue biopsies, which can improve diagnosis in asymptomatic regions like the paranasal sinuses.

Lambda light chain - restricted non - crystalline proximal tubulopathy with cast nephropathy in multiple myeloma: a case report and literature review.

BMC Nephrol

September 2024

Departments of Pathology, Xijing Hospital, School of Basic Medicine, Fourth Military Medical University, 169 Changle Western Street, Xi'an, 710032, Shaanxi, China.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) often causes renal tubular damage, such as the light chain cast nephropathy (LCCN) and the light chain proximal tubulopathy (LCPT). The excessive light chains deposited in the proximal and distal tubules usually manifest with different characteristics, leading to a rare coexistence of the two pathological conditions. Here we report a unique case of a patient with multiple myeloma (MM) who presented with acute kidney injury (AKI) due to dual conditions of λ light chain-restricted non-crystalline LCPT and LCCN.
