ABSTRACT
A 37 year old man with symptomatic multiple myeloma diagnosed in April 1968 presented with generalised bony pains, extensive skeletal osteolytic lesions, monoclonal gammopathy and 90 percent atypical plasma cells in the marrow. He was given cyclophosphamide for six months with minimal response and then initiated on melphalan for one year. He was asymptomatic for 15 years thereafter and presented again in 1985 with a relapse of the disease. Over the next four years he was given various combinations of chemotherapy including cyclophosphamide, vincristine, melphalan and carmustine. He responded well on two more occasions only to relapse again. Recently, he has developed a symptomatic relapse with 36 percent plasma cells. This case report highlights the fact that there is a subset of patients with myeloma who survive beyond ten years, but remain symptomatic and respond slowly to chemotherapy.
