ABSTRACT
Non-secretory myeloma is a very rare entity of plasma cell dyscrasia. It is delineated as symptomatic myeloma without detectable monoclonal immunoglobulin peak on serum or urine electrophoresis with normal immunoquantification. Due to the inability to detect monoclonality often it is difficult to ascertain an early and accurate diagnosis. Misdiagnosing results to undue delay in therapeutic intervention. Consequently extensive imaging studies, serum free light chains detection and morphological confirmation are mandatory. Lytic bone lesions are less frequently seen in this type of myeloma. Here we report the case of a patient with this rare variant having diffuse osteolytic lesions in whom we established the diagnosis by bone marrow examination and document light chain restriction by immunophenotyping. Patient is classified as stage III according to Durie and Salmon criteria in view of anemia and multiple lytic lesions observed
