The authors report two cases of myelomatosis localised to the pleura, one of which was associated with an adenocarcinoma. Pleural effusions are relatively rare during the course of multiple myeloma and most often occur with non-specific disorders of the disease. The myelomatous origin of a pleural effusion can only be made by analysis of the pleural fluid and should be recognised early enough to enable aggressive treatment to be instituted even if the prognosis associated with such a localisation is very poor.

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.

D009378 Neoplasms, Multiple Primary Two or more abnormal growths of tissue occurring simultaneously and presumed to be of separate origin.

D010997 Pleural Neoplasms Neoplasms of the thin serous membrane that envelopes the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity. Pleural neoplasms are exceedingly rare and are usually not diagnosed until they are advanced because in the early stages they produce no symptoms.
