Malign pleural effusion ın a patient with multiple Myeloma

Malign plevral effüzyon, multiple myelomda progresyonla karekterize ve geç gelişen bir komplikasyondur. Tanıdan sonra ortalama yaşam süresi 4 aydır ve sistemik kemoterapilere oldukça dirençlidir. Biz bu makalede 49 yaşında tanıdan 4 ay sonra malign plevral effüzyon gelişen ve solunum yetmezliği nedeniyle kaybedilen bir hastayı sunuyoruz.

Multiple myelomlu hastada gelişen malign plevral effüzyon

Malign pleural effusion is a late and rare complication of multiple myeloma revealing the progression. The mean survival time is four months after the diagnosis with a poor response to systemic chemotherapy. In this paper we mentioned about a 49 year old multiple myeloma patient in her fourth month of the diagnosis with a formation of malign pleural effusion just after induction chemotherapy and died because of respiratory failure.
