Abstract:
Multiple myeloma is lethal plasma cell proliferation that produces monoclonal M-protein and presents bone pain, pathologic fractures, anemia, hypercalcemia, renal failure, abnormalities of the coagulation system, and dysfunctions of the nervous system. About 1% of the multiple myeloma have more than one such protein (monoclonal M-protein). We experienced a case of mutiple myeloma presented as biclonal gammopathy. Protein electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis showed biclonal band that consisted of IgG-landa and IgA-k.
