A case report of biclonal immunoglobulin D lambda/lambda multiple myeloma in patient with liver echinococcosis. Biochem Med (Zagreb) 2024; 34:020801. [PMID: 38665868 PMCID: PMC11042564 DOI: 10.11613/bm.2024.020801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Less than 2% of all symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM) has immunoglobulin D (IgD) as monoclonal protein. Biclonal gammopathy is much rarer. At the time of diagnosis, disease is often in advanced stage, including renal failure, anemia, hypercalcemia and lytic bone lesions. Due to the rarity of myeloma itself, but also due to the fact that anti-IgD antisera is not used in routine practice, there are only a few reports of IgD MM described in the literature. This case report describes a patient with IgD lambda MM with anemia and renal failure. Anemia, renal failure, and > 80 percent plasma cells in bone biopsy in our patient with IgD lambda MM meets International Myeloma Working Group criteria for diagnosis of MM. The patient clinical course was similar to other patients with IgD MM. The final result of serum protein immunofixation (s-IFE) showed IgD lambda and free lambda monoclonal bands. To prevent misdiagnosis, it is necessary to use anti-IgD and anti-IgE antisera whenever the serum protein immunofixation with IgA, IgM, IgG, kappa and lambda antiserums shows a kappa or lambda monoclonal band without monoclonal band in heavy chain.

Clinical characteristics and outcomes of IgD myeloma: experience across UK national trials. Blood Adv 2022; 6:5113-5123.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin D (IgD) myeloma is a subtype often considered to have adverse features and inferior survival, but there is a paucity of data from large clinical studies. We compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with IgD myeloma from UK phase 3 myeloma trials analyzed in 2 groups: old (1980-2002) and recent (2002-2016) clinical trials, based on the time of adoption of novel myeloma therapies. Patients with IgD myeloma comprised 44 of 2789 (1.6%) and 70 of 5773 (1.2%) of the old and recent trials, respectively. Overall, IgD myeloma was associated with male predominance, low-level paraproteinemia (<10g/L), and λ light chain preference. The frequency of ultra-high-risk cytogenetics was similar in IgD myeloma compared with other subtypes (4.3% vs 5.3%, P > .99). Despite the old trial series being a younger group (median age: 59 vs 63 years, P = .015), there was a higher frequency of bone lesions, advanced stage at diagnosis, worse performance status, and severe renal impairment compared with the recent trials. Furthermore, the early mortality rate was significantly higher for the old trial series (20% vs 4%, P = .01). The overall response rate following induction therapy was significantly higher in the recent trials (89% vs 43%, P < .0001), and this was consistent with improved median overall survival (48 months; 95% confidence interval [CI] 35-67 months vs 22 months; 95% CI, 16-29 months). Survival outcomes for IgD myeloma have significantly improved and are now comparable to other myeloma types because of earlier diagnosis, novel therapies, and improved supportive care. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as # NCT01554852.

Abstract
Cast nephropathy is rare kidney disease with slow progression. It is associated with multiple myeloma (MM). In this study, we report a case of cast nephropathy in an 86-year-old woman who was previously independent in her activities of daily living (ADLs). However, she was found to have severe renal impairment after vomiting and a decrease in her ADLs. Blood and urine tests revealed the renal disorder. The patient was immediately treated with hemodiafiltration. IgG, IgA, and IgM levels were decreased by immunoelectrophoresis. A kidney biopsy showed crystals and periodic acid-Schiff stain (PAS)-negative urinary casts in the tubules. Bence Jones protein-lambda type M protein was detected in the urine. The patient was diagnosed with cast nephropathy due to MM. Hemodialysis was continued. The patient's family and the patient did not wish to initiate chemotherapy. The decision was made to follow the patient's progress. In this case, a patient who was originally independent in her ADLs developed severe renal failure with an acute course. This case suggests the importance of differentiating MM based on renal failure, even if the presentation is not typical, as elderly patients may have an atypical presentation of the disease, which can avoid invasive procedures such as renal biopsy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin D (IgD) multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare subtype of MM and commonly occurs in younger subjects but at a later stage of the International Staging System (ISS) when admitted. As a special type of IgD myeloma, IgD-λ/λ biclonal MM is rarer. Its serum protein electrophoresis and serum immuno-fixation electrophoresis (IFE) might find no anomalies even if the bone marrow (BM) examination is performed. Thus, it is easy to miss the diagnosis.
CASE SUMMARY A 62-year-old man diagnosed as IgD-λ/λ myeloma (ISS stage III) was admitted with fatigue and weight loss. The physical examination suggested an anemic face, a few moist rales at the left lung base, and mild concave edema in both lower extremities. Laboratory examinations showed the elevated creatinine levels, β2-microglobulin, lactic dehydrogenase, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, while the decreased neutrophils, granulocytes, and hemoglobin. In the serum protein electrophoresis, there appeared two inconspicuous M-spikes. Serum IFE indicated an over-representation of lambda light chain and yielded two monoclonal bands in λ region, but only one corresponding heavy chain band in the antisera to IgD region. The BM histology and BM cytology both supported the diagnosis of IgD-λ/λ myeloma.
CONCLUSION This case highlights the differential clinical manifestations and laboratory findings of IgD-λ/λ myeloma to help minimize the chance of misdiagnosis.

Abstract
A 77-year-old Japanese woman with a 21-year history of seropositive, erosive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and a 10-year history of methotrexate (MTX) therapy was admitted with malaise and mild consciousness disturbance. Laboratory data showed hypercalcemia, acute kidney injury, normocytic anaemia, and thrombocytopenia. As we first assumed drug-induced toxicity by MTX and eldecalcitol, both were discontinued and leucovorin rescue therapy and calcitonin were administered. However, her condition continued to worsen. Serum protein electrophoresis showed only a small M-peak, immunoelectrophoresis of both the serum and urine demonstrated Bence-Jones kappa (κ) type monoclonal protein without immunoglobulin heavy chain, and bone marrow examination revealed proliferation of plasma cells. We diagnosed her with Bence-Jones κ type multiple myeloma (MM) and transferred her to the department of haematology of a higher order medical institution. Conclusively, the diagnosis of immunoglobulin (Ig) D-κ type MM, a rare variant of this disorder, was determined in accordance with serum immunofixation. Several previous studies have suggested that pre-existing RA is a risk factor for MM. Although IgD MM is characterised by its clinical severity and poor prognosis compared to other subtypes, it is often misdiagnosed or mistaken as light chain type MM, as in the present case, because of the low level of IgD M-protein, resulting in delayed diagnosis. Physicians must take MM into consideration as a differential diagnosis when inactive RA patients present with inexplicable elevated calcium, renal failure, anaemia, and bone lesion symptoms and should be aware of IgD MM to establish the correct diagnosis promptly.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin (Ig) D multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare subtype of MM comprising 2% of all the cases. Malignant plasma cell invasion leads to signs and symptoms similar to other subtypes of MM. The synthesis rate of IgD is lower in IgD MM patients, making it very difficult to diagnose compared to other subtypes. As there is no available diagnostic test with 100% accuracy, the diagnosis of IgD MM is based on multiple factors. Recent advances in the treatment have resulted in a better overall survival for IgD MM patients. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the data on presentation patterns, diagnosis modalities, management strategies, and outcomes in patients with IgD MM.
