Backache could be an indication of multiple myeloma: An unusual case report

Unusual presentation of multiple myeloma (MM) poses a diagnostic dilemma. The objective of this case report is to document the unique presentation of MM and to highlight the importance of backache which could be the only indicator for the diagnosis of MM. Although a history of trauma in the past is present in this case, but there is no molecular basis/evidence to declare trauma as a risk factor for MM. It can be concluded that the patients with backache should be thoroughly investigated to rule out any possibility of malignant disease process.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(2) 2018 p.311-315

Chronic Shoulder Pain

Although solitary plasmacytomas may occasionally present as collar bone swellings or fractures, multiple myeloma involving clavicle is extremely rare. Ten to forty per cent of multiple myeloma cases are asymptomatic and are incidental diagnoses. Our case report describes an entirely benign presentation like chronic shoulder pain masquerading advanced myeloma, thereby posing a significant diagnostic dilemma. We present a 48-year-old man who presented with chronic bilateral shoulder pain with no history of trauma and was eventually diagnosed with advanced multiple myeloma and pathologic fracture of the right clavicle. It is, therefore, evident that a low threshold for suspicion can lead to early diagnosis and initiation of treatment and better survival.
