Can you diagnose immune thrombocytopenia in myeloma? A case of thrombocytopenia in a patient with multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma is the second most common haematological malignancy and is associated with a broad group of pathologies, including, in some cases, autoimmune manifestations. Thrombocytopenia in multiple myeloma is common due to therapy or bone marrow plasmacytosis, but the association of immune thrombocytopenia with multiple myeloma is rare.Raising clinicians' awareness of the association of multiple myeloma with immune thrombocytopenia is essential for a rapid differential diagnosis. This can alter therapeutic possibilities and consequent patient prognoses.
