Özet
Myelomatous pleural effusion is extremely rare and cases with cavitary involvement are mostly IgA type myeloma. The effusion is thought as a late manifestation in the natural history of multiple myeloma or an expression of the aggressive behaviour of the disease and a very aggressive treatment is indicated. A case of myelomatous effusion presenting as plasma-cell leukemia two years after initial diagnosis of IgG type multiple myeloma is described.
