Abstract

The non-secreting myeloma is a rare form of myeloma. Its association with a nephrotic syndrome is exceptional. The observation which we report below described the history of a 66 years old patient who presents a non-secreting myeloma revealed by a nephrotic syndrome. Various assumptions on the mechanism of no excretion were put forth. Nevertheless, several points are to be elucidated as for the pathogenesis of the association non-secreting myeloma and nephrotic syndrome.
