[Recurrent amylase-producing multiple myeloma responding to pomalidomide and carfilzomib-containing therapies].

2018 
: A 73-year-old woman diagnosed with symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM; IgG-κ type, DS additionally, the pantalgia also disappeared. The S-AMY level in the supernatant from cultured bone marrow mononuclear cells was higher than that observed in a normal control. In addition, AMY was high when MM previously relapsed, suggesting the presence of AMY-producing MM. Although AMY-producing MM was first reported by Hata et al. in 1988, few cases have been reported in the new-drug era. In conclusion, AMY-producing MM frequently, including in our case (as the patient was refractory to treatment), is difficult to treat. However, our patient positively responded to the novel next-generation drugs such as pomalidomide and carfilzomib.
