Abstract

A 68-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital because of general fatigue and anorexia. He was diagnosed as suffering from neuron specific enolase (NSE)-producing IgD-lambda type multiple myeloma with high activity of serum amylase, based on the detection of monoclonal IgD-lambda M-protein in the serum and urine, markedly high activities of salivary-type amylase and NSE in the serum, and immunohistochemical evidence of NSE and IgD in the myeloma cells. After two courses of alpha-IFN and VMCP chemotherapy, serum IgD, amylase and NSE decreased to normal levels. These observations indicate that NSE was ectopically produced by myeloma cells.
