When an uncommon condyloma revealed a multiple myeloma: Case report

Sara Bouabdella et al. Ann Med Surg (Lond). .

Abstract

Introduction and importance: Condyloma are a common and easily diagnosticated condition that could affect the area around and inside the anus. But a nodular perianal lesion is not always a simple condyloma.

Case presentation: We report a case of a 61-year-old patient with nodular perianal lesions mimicking condyloma that has revealed an amylosis and a multiple myeloma.

Clinical discussion: The cutaneous manifestations of amyloidosis are diverse. Perianal nodular lesions were indicative of cutaneous amyloidosis in our patient. It is imperative to screen systemic involvement for amyloidosis.

Conclusion: Our case report highlights the importance of minitious physical examination because some simple lesions can hide dangerous affections.

Keywords: Amylosis; Condyloma; Multiple myeloma.
