Abstract
The case report presented here sheds light on the diagnostic challenges posed by Light Chain Multiple Myeloma (LCMM), a rare subtype of multiple myeloma characterized by the exclusive production of light chains. LCMM's a typical presentation often manifests with nonspecific symptoms, such as fatigue and backpain, complicating its diagnosis and necessitating a in depth evaluation. This case highlights the significance of a thorough medical history in uncovering potential risk factors and guiding towards the diagnosis, despite the absence of classical myeloma symptoms. Laboratory investigations, including serum protein electrophoresis and renal function tests, alongside imaging studies, played a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis of LCMM. The complexity of LCMM presents the importance of a multi disciplinary approach to diagnosis and management, considering its diverse clinical manifestations and potential renal complications. This report emphasizes the need for heightened clinical suspicion and early intervention to mitigate the impact of LCMM, highlighting the evolving nature of multiple myeloma subtypes and the necessity for tailored therapeutic approaches based on specific disease characteristics.
