Myelomatous Ascites : A case report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM), or plasma cell myeloma, is characterized by plasmocytic proliferation and the production of a large amount of specific immunoglobulins. The diagnosis is classically discovered on the occasion of bone, hematological or renal manifestations. Visceral disorders are rare and usually seen at an advanced stage [1]. We report a case of MM revealed by ascites secondary to peritoneal involvement in the context of extramedullary localization.
