Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM), although a rare disease, is the second most common hematologic malignancy. MM is associated with significant morbidity due to its end-organ destruction. It is a disease of the older population and advancements in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of MM are of the utmost importance as the general population lives longer due to other improvements in health care. Herein, we present an interesting case of MM presenting with initially skin manifestation which unfortunately is associated with a poor prognosis due to a relationship indicating higher tumor burden. Despite being on multiple treatment, our patient continued to progress with her disease.
