Diffuse plasma cell infiltration of liver detected initially at diagnosis of multiple myeloma

Clin Ter. 2013;164(6):e509-10. doi: 10.7417/CT.2013.1646.

Abstract

Liver involvement in mutiple myeloma (MM) is not commonly encountered. In this report, we describe a patient who was diagnosed with IgG kappa type MM. A liver biopsy revealed monoclonal plasma cell infiltration. Hepatomegaly was the sole finding in physical examination and the liver function tests were not disturbed.
