Chronic Neuropathy

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.

Lytic Lesions

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

Rare Entity

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.
