Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the major malignancy of plasma cells. Although lymphomas are usually neoplasms of lymphatic tissues, substantial numbers of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma arise in other tissue.The transformation of Multiple Myeloma to non Hodgkin malignant Lymphoma is very rare. We report a case of a patient presented with this transformation and we discuss the possible pathogenetic mechanism of the two disorders.
