Multiple Myeloma in Young Patient: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Multiple myeloma, a disease of elderly, is extremely rare in those about 30 years of age. A patient with MM diagnosed at age 35 is described. He was a male with a four-month history of back pain and later, humerus and tibia pain persisting despite NSAIDS. X-rays had shown lytic lesions on lateral radiograph of the skull and the humerus. The Immunohistochemical examination demonstrated a strong reaction for the Lambda light chain in all tumor cells. . The presenting clinical and laboratory features are similar to those observed in patients of all ages who have myeloma.. The usual median age of myeloma is 65 years. A 35 year old patient presented with the history of anemia, bone pain and weakness. Despite the rarity of multiple myeloma among young patients, this diagnosis should be evoked when clinical, biological and radiological signs are in favor. This report illustrated that multiple myeloma should be even evoked in young patients.
