HERNANDEZ BENEDICTO, René; PILA PEREZ, Rafael; PILA PELAEZ, Rafael  and  HOLGUIN PRIETO, Víctor A. Myeloma IGD: an infrequent observation. AMC [online]. 2007, vol.11, n.3. ISSN 1025-0255.

A case of a patient of 50 years, male, with diagnosis of a myeloma IgD is described, that debuts with the presence of anemia and generalized bony pains. The low frequency of this subtype of myeloma and its biological behavior stands out. The myeloma IgD constitutes only the 2.1% of all the myelomas. The worst prognostic of the MM IgD regarding to another type of myelomas is in relation to the greater frequency of renal insufficiency, extraosseus and amyloidosis invasions that are presented. The clinical and humoral characteristics of the patient are described. The diagnostic study and the employed therapeutic stands out.
