A Multiple myeloma case with ascites

Abstract

Ascites is an unusual finding of multiple myeloma. It is a sign of poor prognosis and can be seen not only at the initial diagnosis, but also at any stage of the disease. In this case report, we present the peritoneal involvement of a relapsed refractory multiple myeloma patient with Ig G lambda type. The patient was prescribed 2 cycles of lenalidomide (15 mg) and dexamethasone (20 mg). However, the patient did not respond to treatment.
