Abstract

Extramedullary multiple myeloma is seen in advanced and aggressive disease and occurs due to plasma cell infiltration of sites other than the bone marrow. Myelomatous ascites or pleural effusion is seen in less than 1 % of cases and can be differentiated from infectious etiologies based on fluid cytology.
