Abstract
- Thrombocytopenia is frequently seen in patients with multiple myeloma when most often the etiology is either chemotherapy induced marrow suppression or bone marrow replacement by myeloma cells. But immune thrombocytopenia has only rarely been documented in patients with multiple myeloma. Also ascites caused by peritoneal infiltration with myeloma cell rarely develops in patients with multiple myeloma. We report a patient with nonsecretory multiple myeloma associated with immune thrombocytopenia and complicated by malignant ascites and periumbilical nodules.
