Bilateral myelomatous pleural effusions: an unusual presentation in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
BMJ Case Rep

Oncology, Mount Sinai Hospital, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Multiple myeloma is a rare haematological malignancy characterised by the clonal proliferation of plasma cells within the bone marrow. Typical manifestations include bone pain, fatigue and monoclonal protein elevation in serum and urine. Less than 1% of cases develop myelomatous pleural effusion, a severe complication indicative of advanced disease and a very poor prognosis.

In clinical practice, pleural effusion is seen in up to 6% of MM patients, with many causative factors. Nevertheless, true myelomatous pleural effusion, defined as infiltration of the pleura by myeloma cells, is very rare.

Case Summary: A 10-year-old male castrated domestic shorthair cat was presented with a 3-day history of dyspnoea, chronic lethargy and inappetence. A bilateral pleural effusion was identified by thoracic ultrasound, and cytological examination revealed numerous atypical plasma cells. Biochemistry and serum protein electrophoresis revealed a severe hyperglobulinaemia associated with a monoclonal gammopathy.

Leptomeningeal myelomatosis is a rare complication of multiple myeloma (<1% of the patients). There was an increase in the incidence of leptomeningeal myelomatosis during the last decade; the prognosis of leptomeningeal myelomatosis remains poor, (overall median survival from the time of diagnosis of 2 months). We discuss a rare case of a monoclonal gammopathy evolving into multiple myeloma and finally into a rapidly progressing leptomeningeal disease.
