Resumen
GONZALEZ-FERNANDEZ, Andrés; BERASATEGUI-FUERTES, Maider; SANHUEZA-TORRES, Ignacio y LARREA-RAMIREZ, Alba. Multiple myeloma with laryngeal affectation: an uncommon cause of dysphonia. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2023, vol.46, n.1, e1034. Epub 10-Jul-2023. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.23938/assn.1034.
Plasma cell proliferation leads to the formation of a single tumour (plasmacytoma) or to systemic disease (myeloma). Plasma cell myeloma involving laryngeal cartilage is unusual and clinical manifestations are similar to those of laryngeal carcinoma.
We report the case of a 70-year-old man with disphonia after a recent diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Radiological and immunohistochemical studies showed laryngeal involvement. The patient is currently under treatment with lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and bortezomib.
