Abstract
Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy and a subtype of plasma cell dyscrasias, which accounts for 13% of all hematologic malignancies. It mainly affects older adults and is diagnosed in only 2% of the young population under the age of 40 years. This report presents a 33-year-old man diagnosed with Multiple myeloma with 4 poor prognostic specifications consisting of amplification of the 1q21, Translocation of t(4;14), deletion of the 6q21 and 13q14, along with decreased chromosome count to 44, X,-Y. Even though the combination of 4 poor prognostic cytogenetics in young patients is rare, he responded significantly to the Bortezomib regimen. He was selected as a candidate for bone marrow transplantation. The treatments get interrupted 2 days after the first session of the fifth cycle due to an undesirable COVID-19 infection. After 20 days, the symptoms return, and paraclinical findings show signs of MM relapse.
