  • Title: Myelomatous pleural effusion.
    Author: Ghosh S, Gopal R, Advani SH.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2006 Sep; 54():738-9. PubMed ID: 17212026.
    Abstract:
    Serous effusions in multiple myeloma are uncommon but a myelomatous pleural effusion occurring in these patients is extremely rare. Here we report a rare case of a 38 years lady who was diagnosed to have multiple myeloma and subsequently developed pleural effusion. The myelomatous nature of the effusion was first diagnosed on cytology and subsequently confirmed by a pleural biopsy. The pleural effusion showed an initial response to chemotherapy but subsequently recurred.
