Аннотация

Multiple myeloma is defined as the neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells resulting in a monoclonal gammopathy. The classic presentation of a patient is someone who presents with bone pain, osteopenia, or new onset fractures. We present a case of multiple myeloma presenting as Evan's syndrome (ES). Evan's syndrome is autoimmune hemolytic anaemia with autoimmune thrombocytopenia. A 44-year-old female was referred from her primary physician to the hospital as laboratory testing revealed haemoglobin of 5 gm/dL. The patient reported a two-month history of fatigue and a sixty-pound weight loss. Laboratory results demonstrated autoimmune hemolytic anaemia, C3 positivity, elevated immunoglobulin (Ig)G, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), low haptoglobin, elevated reticulocyte count, elevated RDW-CV (red blood cell distribution width-corpuscular volume), positive direct Coombs test, thrombocytopenia, and proteinuria, all of which led to an underlying ES. The patient was started on intravenous steroids followed by oral steroids. A flow cytometry, serum protein electrophoresis, and cytogenetics were obtained. A bone marrow biopsy revealed multiple myeloma and she was started on Bortezomib treatment. We present the fifth reported case of Evan's syndrome and multiple myeloma.
