- Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) results from malignant plasma cell disorder. It represents approximately 10% of hematological malignancies and it is typically diagnosed in the elderly with a median age of 70 years and has a steep increase in incidence with advancing age. N Engl J Med. 2004, 1860; Clin Interv Aging. 2020, 619. The incidence of MM has been increasing over time, mostly due to population aging. Mayo Clin Proc. 2010, 225 However, certain MMs are diagnosed at young age even under 40 years old (2%). Leuk Lymphoma. 1998, 493; Blood. 2010, 5501. We report a case of a MM in a thirty‐four‐year‐old woman whose circumstance of discovery was acute kidney failure.
