- Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by a proliferation of malignant plasma cells and a subsequent overabundance of monoclonal paraprotein (M protein). In the presence of obvious clinical findings (e.g., lytic bone lesions, hypercalcemia, elevated sedimentation rate, hyperglobulinemia), diagnosis is easy; however, in the case of atypical findings, with high clinical suspicion, further testing is required for the diagnosis. As in light chain disease, the paraproteins that cannot be detected in standard electrophoresis can be determined easily in immunofixation electrophoresis. Through this case report, the clinical findings of light chain myeloma and the clinical use of immunofixation electrophoresis are reviewed.
