Abstract
AVILA, Ana María and GIRALT, Sergio. Autoimmune Disorders and Multiple Myeloma- Two Illustrative Case Reports and a Literature Review. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.2, pp.76-83. ISSN 0123-9015. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccan.2017.07.001.
Several autoimmune disorders have been associated with a variety of hematopoietic malignancies, particularly lympho-proliferative disorders. Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the most common hematologic malignancies and has been described in the context of a variety of autoimmune conditions. Due to their diversity and rarity, the clinical features of autoimmune conditions associated with MM have not been elucidated and the pathogenesis remains unclear. In this report, we describe two cases of autoimmune conditions in the setting of MM and review the current literature.
