Meningeal involvement in IgD myeloma with cerebrospinal fluid paraprotein analysis

Cancer. 1980 Jul 1;46(1):152-5. doi: 10.1002/1097-0142(19800701)46:1<152::aid-cncr2820460125>3.0.co;2-i.

Abstract

Myelomatous meningitis is a rare occurrence in multiple myeloma. We report 2 cases of documented IgD myeloma with cytologic evidence of meningeal involvement in 1 and detailed paraprotein analysis in both. The occurrence of meningeal involvement in this rare form of plasma cell neoplasm may be more common than previously thought.
