Abstract

ABSTRACT
Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignant tumor of plasma cells, sometimes associated with pleural effusion. This, in most cases, is associated to infectious complications. Pleural effusion as the onset or progression of the disease itself is rare. This case reports a young male, who presented recurrent pleural effusions, diagnosed with multiple myeloma at diagnosis.
