Multiple myeloma presenting as bilateral renal complex stones.
Hypercalcaemia is a frequent complication of multiple myeloma. A mild degree of nephrocalcinosis has been noted in occasional patients and renal calculi are also sometimes present. We report herein a case of multiple myeloma that was revealed by the presence of bilateral calcium renal staghorn calculi. Medical treatment of myeloma, surgical management of this complex lithiasis and the course of multiple myeloma are discussed.
