Concomitant association of pyroglobulinemia and cryoglobulinemia in 2 patients in multiple myeloma.
We have reported two cases of multiple myeloma associated concomitantly with pyroglobulinemia and cryoglobulinemia. One of them showed blood picture of plasma cell leukemia. Plasma cell leukemia with two abnormal serum proteins at the same time, has not been reported yet to our knowledge. In that case, the large amounts of plasma cells were detected in the urine sediment.
