Metastatic prostate cancer with bone marrow infiltration mimicking multiple myeloma

Clin Case Rep. 2017 Dec 22;6(2):269-273. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1308. eCollection 2018 Feb.

Abstract

Concomitant diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer and a multiple myeloma in older male patients is challenging as both malignancies are usually associated with bone lesions. Exact knowledge, experience, and an interdisciplinary approach are required in order to differentiate between both malignancies and determine the exact treatment strategy.

Keywords: Multiple myeloma; plasma cell dyscrasia; prostate cancer; smoldering myeloma.
