Ascites formation in the course of refractory myeloma and response to intra-peritoneal dexametasone treatment

Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell dyscrasia characterized by the malignant proliferation of a plasma cell clone. Ascites is a rare complication of MM and generally occurs because of portal hypertension due to the infiltration of liver by plasma cells. Infrequently, ascites is detected as a result of peritoneal infiltration by plasma cells. Ascites in the course of myeloma has a progressive course and is refractory to high dose chemotherapy. A refractory myeloma case with massive ascites due to peritoneal infiltration and responding to intra-peritoneal dexametasone treatment is presented.
