Clin Case Rep. 2017 Nov 2;5(12):2044-2046. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1234. eCollection 2017 Dec.

Abstract

We are highlighting on the particularity of a clinical picture of pulmonary embolism revealing light-chain myeloma in a 56-year-old male patient. Myeloma remains a rare affection. Even though its revelation through pulmonary embolism remains rare, it can be explained by hyperviscosity syndrome accompanying it.

Keywords: Monoclonal‐free kappa light chain; multiple myeloma; pulmonary embolism.
