Leuk Lymphoma. 2003 Feb;44(2):373-4. doi: 10.1080/1042819021000037949.

Abstract

A case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated by multiple myeloma is presented. The lupus diagnosis was established together with the diagnosis of myeloma but the symptoms had commenced a few years before. The putative mechanisms underlying this unusual combination are discussed.
