  • Title: Occurrence of multiple myeloma in both donor and recipient after bone marrow transplantation.
    Author: Kumar A, Styler MJ, Topolsky DL, Crilley PA, Przybysz TM, Gladstone DE.
    Journal: Am J Hematol; 2002 Nov; 71(3):227-8. PubMed ID: 12410583.
    Abstract:
    The transplantation of malignant cells during allogeneic transplant is a rare occurrence. 27 months after donating progenitor cells, a diagnosis of multiple myeloma was made in a 6/6 HLA-phenotypically matched unrelated donor. The 42-year-old recipient transplanted for chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia developed IgA myeloma 40 months after transplantation. Serum electrophoresis and bone marrow investigations established the diagnosis of IgA K multiple myeloma in both. This case illustrates the natural history and biology of multiple myeloma.
