title: Multiple myeloma presenting as hepatic nodular lesion.
abstract: The diffuse infiltration by plasma cells in the liver is not uncommon in multiple myeloma (MM). However, a MM with hepatic mass is very unusual. We report a case of a 75-year-old male with hepatomegaly and a lesion occupying a voluminous space in the liver. A lambda light chain multiple myeloma was found in the check-up of this hepatic mass. We also provide a literature review.
