  • Title: Development of multiple myeloma in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia while on treatment with imatinib mesylate for 65 months.
    Author: Michael M, Antoniades M, Lemesiou E, Papaminas N, Melanthiou F.
    Journal: Oncologist; 2009 Dec; 14(12):1198-200. PubMed ID: 19955186.
    Abstract:
    The simultaneous occurrence of multiple myeloma (MM) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is an extremely rare event that has been reported in only eight cases in the literature. We report here on only the third case of the development of MM in a patient with CML on treatment with imatinib mesylate, and to our knowledge, this is the first case in a patient who received imatinib as first-line treatment.
