Peripheral Neuropathy can be acute or gradual over the years turning severe and quite debilitating to the patient. Diabetes, Alcohol or Drugs are some of the common causes of neuropathies however a small percentage of patients can present with paraproteinemia. The cause of paraproteinemia in these patients range from benign to serious malignant disorders such as Multiple Myeloma. We here report a case of an elderly patient who had to visit multiple center for over 4 months for his chronic neuropathy. Following extensive workup, he was started on an immunomodulating agent and glucocorticoids. Patient has remained free of disease and symptom free throughout treatment and thereafter.

Solitary plasmacytoma of bone without signs of multiple myeloma is a rare entity. It usually presents as an osteolytic lesion in the axial skeleton of an elderly patient. Here, we report a case of solitary plasmacytoma in the skull of a young male patient which emphasises the need to consider it in the differential diagnosis of a destructive calvarial mass lesion even in this age group.

AbstractAn 80-year-old woman with recurrent urinary tract infection presented to the orthopaedic OPD at KS Hegde Memorial Health Center, Bailur, with gradual onset of generalized weakness, fatigue, anorexia, musculoskeletal pain, and particularly severe backache. The patient was diagnosed to have anemia but renal function tests were normal. X-ray spine showed multiple compression fractures. Serum electrophoresis confirmed the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. In an elderly patient with myalgia, anemia, and recurrent infections, the differential diagnosis of multiple myeloma should be kept in mind as it is often missed by clinicians.
