Clin Case Rep. 2017 Jul 27;5(9):1493-1495. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1104. eCollection 2017 Sep.

Abstract

We present a rare case of a patient with delayed gastric emptying, gastric phytobezoar formation, and osteosclerotic bone lesions as an atypical association with multiple myeloma. Associated gastric features in myeloma, which include diffuse infiltration, gastric plasmacytomas, or delayed gastric emptying, are rare and have a poor prognosis.

Keywords: Myeloma; phytobezoar; vomiting; weight loss.
