Multiple myeloma with concurrent immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

We present a case of MM with concurrent ITP which was refractory of steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin but had a response with anti-neoplastic therapy for MM. We also review all the cases of ITP with MM described in the literature. If conventional treatment for ITP associated with MM fails to improve platelet count, anti-neoplastic therapy for MM should be considered. PMID: 32256695 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
