IGD MULTIPLE MYELOMA AT THE MILITARY HOSPITAL OF INSTRUCTION MOHAMED V IN RABAT

IgD multiple myeloma is a rare and aggressive form of multiple myeloma, constituting only about 2% of cases. The disease is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to its nonspecific symptoms, which include bone pain, renal failure, and hypercalcemia. We report a case of a 74-year-old male patient diagnosed with IgD myeloma at the Military Hospital of Mohamed V in Rabat. His diagnosis was confirmed through electrophoresis, immunofixation, and bone marrow biopsy, revealing monoclonal IgD and significant plasmacytic infiltration. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing IgD myeloma, especially in elderly patients, and emphasizes the need for advanced diagnostic techniques. Despite its rarity, IgD myeloma remains a challenging and poor-prognosis condition, often resistant to standard treatments. Early detection and a multidisciplinary approach are key to managing this disease.
