Abstract
This case report presents a rare occurrence of acquired Factor X (FX) deficiency in a patient with Multiple myeloma (MM) without concomitant amyloidosis. The patient, a 64-year-old male with prior diagnosis of Smoldering MM, presented with abdominal pain and chronic bloody diarrhea and was diagnosed with severe FX deficiency. Despite initial suspicion of amyloidosis, subsequent investigations ruled out its presence. Treatment with anti-myeloma therapy and supportive measures resulted in the normalization of coagulation parameters. This case underscores the importance of considering acquired FX deficiency in Plasma Cell Dyscrasia patients presenting with coagulopathy.
期刊介绍:
''Acta Haematologica'' is a well-established and internationally recognized clinically-oriented journal featuring balanced, wide-ranging coverage of current hematology research. A wealth of information on such problems as anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, hereditary disorders, blood coagulation, growth factors, hematopoiesis and differentiation is contained in first-rate basic and clinical papers some of which are accompanied by editorial comments by eminent experts. These are supplemented by short state-of-the-art communications, reviews and correspondence as well as occasional special issues devoted to ‘hot topics’ in hematology. These will keep the practicing hematologist well informed of the new developments in the field.
