Abstract

The association of essential thrombocythemia and multiple myeloma is extremely rare, with only three patients previously treated with hydroxyurea reported in the literature until now. In this paper, we report the case of a 66 year old male who developed IgG-kappa M six years after the diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia, for which he had received hydroyurea. The possible etiological and pathogenic link between both these entities is here discussed.

Keywords: essential thrombocythemia; hydroxyurea; multiple myeloma.
