Popis: We report on a patient with multiple myeloma who developed myelomatous pleural effusion and plasma cell leukemia. After the fourth course of chemotherapy, pleural effusion developed, and plasma cells were observed in peripheral blood after the sixth course of chemotherapy. Homozygous loss of chromosome 16 and monosomy X developed before the fourth course of chemotherapy. In this case, such cytogenetic abnormalities may be related to the myelomatous effusion and leukemic changes in multiple myelomas.
