title: [Meningeal myelomatosis. Presentation of a case].
abstract: The case of a 36-year old man with IgA kappa multiple myeloma in whom meningeal myelomatosis developed is reported, and a brief review of previously published cases is made. Meningeal involvement develops in patients with high tumoral mass myeloma. Because of its poor prognosis, central nervous system chemoprophylaxis based on clinical and cerebrospinal fluid data, and systemic treatment according to severity, is suggested.
