Gastric Adenocarcinoma Mimicking Plasmacytoma During the Course of Multiple Myeloma(MM) in a Geriatric Patient

Abstract

Multiple myeloma genellikle kemik iliği kökenli monoklonal plazma hücrelerinin neoplastik proliferasyonudur. Birçok organda fonksiyon bozukluklarına yol açabilir. Multiple myelomlu hastalarda ikincil kanserler nadir olmamakla birlikte mide kanseri ve multiple myelom birlikteliğine literatürde az rastlanılmaktadır. İkincil kanser riski multiple myelomlu hastaların izleminde akılda tutulmalıdır

Multiple myeloma is the neoplastic proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells, usually bone marrow originated. It may cause various organ dysfunctions. It is not so rare to detect secondary malignancies associated with MM but this co-existence between MM and gastric cancer has been not very frequently reported. Secondary malignancy risk should be kept in mind during the follow-up of patients with MM
