A case of chronic neutrophilic leukaemia associated with multiple myeloma is reported. The patient had a 6 months history of bruising and weight loss, and showed mature neutrophilic leukocytosis, hepatosplenomegaly, high neutrophil alkaline phosphatase score, hyperuricaemia, neutrophils with pseudotoxic granulation and scarce Döhle bodies; moreover, a monoclonal IgG lambda was detected amounting 57.3 g/L. The bone marrow was grossly hypercellular with marked myeloid hyperplasia and aggregates of immature plasma cells. After treatment during 1 year with melphalan and prednisone she is well, although persisting with neutrophilic leukocytosis, slight splenomegaly, and the monoclonal IgG decreased to 25.8 g/L.

D009101 Multiple Myeloma A malignancy of mature PLASMA CELLS engaging in monoclonal immunoglobulin production. It is characterized by hyperglobulinemia, excess Bence-Jones proteins (free monoclonal IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) in the urine, skeletal destruction, bone pain, and fractures. Other features include ANEMIA; HYPERCALCEMIA; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.

D010950 Plasma Cells Specialized forms of antibody-producing B-LYMPHOCYTES. They synthesize and secrete immunoglobulin. They are found only in lymphoid organs and at sites of immune responses and normally do not circulate in the blood or lymph.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
