Extramedullary multiple myeloma involving the urinary tract is extremely rare. We report an unusual case of visible haematuria in a 45-year-old male who had a stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma 18 months previously. Cysto-urethroscopy revealed a mid-urethral lesion that was then fully excised by endoscopic resection. Histology confirmed malignant plasma cell infiltrate with subsequent staging and skeletal biopsy of a rib lesion confirming relapse of multiple myeloma. We believe this is the first case of urethral involvement to reveal a relapse of multiple myeloma after autologous stem cell transplant.

Ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 26- (ANKRD26-) related thrombocytopenia is a rare, autosomal dominant condition caused by ANKRD26 gene mutation. ANKRD26-related thrombocytopenia is characterized by moderate thrombocytopenia with minimal bleeding, normal platelet size, and dysmegakaryopoiesis on bone marrow evaluation. ANKRD26 mutation has been previously associated with myeloid malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and chronic myeloid leukemia. We report the first case of multiple myeloma in a patient with ANKRD26 related thrombocytopenia. The patient was successfully treated with contemporary combination therapy followed by melphalan-conditioned autologous stem cell transplant for his multiple myeloma despite preexisting thrombocytopenia.
