Multiple myeloma is a neoplasm of plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is characterised by lytic lesions in the bones, marrow plasmacytosis and presence of M protein in serum and/or urine. Serum ?2 microglobulin is also raised and can be used for classification and prognostication of the disease. In the absence of M protein, the disease is known as non-secretory myeloma. It is proposed that raised ?2 microglobulin can be used for diagnosis and therapeutic guidance in the absence of M protein. A rare case of nonsecretory myeloma with neurocognitive impairment along with review of literature is being presented. The patient had multiple lytic lesions in bones with marked increase in plasma cells in bone marrow. M protein was not detectable in serum or urine but serum ?2 microglobulin was much elevated.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.16(1) 2017 p.142-145

Bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor, is an established therapy against multiple myeloma. Bortezomib-induced lung injury, although not appreciated during the introductory time of the medication, has now been highlighted in multiple case reports. The objective of this study is to report a case of bortezomib-induced lung injury, review current literature, and perform exploratory analysis.
