- Abstract
Herein, we report a case of a patient with TEMPI syndrome, who presented with severe fluid accumulation bilaterally in the perinephric space and polycythemia at the time of IgA-kappa multiple myeloma relapsed, and responded dramatically to lenalidomide and dexamethasone. Our patient presented with TEMPI syndrome at the time of multiple myeloma progression, and his paraprotein was IgA-kappa. Our patient was less likely to be suffering from POEMS syndrome, since he did not have the characteristic feature of peripheral neuropathy and the type of light chain seen in POEMS syndrome is almost always lambda [[13]].
