Sumario: | Non-secretory multiple myeloma (NSMM) is a hematological malignancy that presents as a unique clinical form of multiple myeloma with proliferation of plasmacytic cells that cannot secrete or synthesize immunoglobulins. Its prevalence as a hematologic malignancy in adults is low. Our article describes a case of a 68-year-old lady presenting with diffuse scattered lytic lesions throughout the axial and visualized appendicular skeleton without lymph node involvement. She was treated with chemotherapy with a good clinical response. We will present a case report to showcase the differences in pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and management compared to secretory multiple myeloma. |
