Congenital diverticula of the cardiac ventricle have been reported as arising either from the left ventricule or, rarely from both ventricules. A diverticulum arising from the right ventricle alone is very rare. Double chambered right ventricle(DCRV) was first described in 1962 by Lucas et al, and account for 1.5% of congenital heart disease. Right ventricular diverticulum are associated with right ventricle outlet obstructive disease, tetralogy of fallot, double outlet right ventricle, pulmonic stenosis, ventricular septal defect, left ventricule-right atrium communication, persistant truncus arteriosus. DCRV are freqently associated with ventricular septal defect(80%), pulmonic stenosis(33%), renal anormaly(43%). Treatment consist of suture of diverticulum and resection of septum. We report a case of double chambered right ventricle with congenital right ventricular true diverticulum in 62 years of female patients admitted due to anterior chest pain and mild exertional dyspnea.

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.
