Abstract
|
|
|
Hereditary elliptocytosis with multiple myeloma is very rare in orientals and
transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait, and although usually benign, occasionally
results in severe hemolytic anemia.
The incidence in white populations approaches 0.05%, and it is most frequent in
Europeans. A case of hereditary elliptocytosis with multiple myeloma in a 60 years old
female was presented.
She had mild anemia with anisocytosis due to marked elliptocytosis and normal white
blood tell count and platelet in peripheral blood.
Hepatosplenomegaly was not noted. Bone marrow revealed massive proliferation of
immature plasms cells.
The purpose of this paper is to record the first reported case of hereditary
elliptocytosis with myeloma in a Korean family.
