Abstract

We describe a rare case of metastatic prostate cancer to bone marrow and synchronous multiple myeloma as the second malignant disease. Various diagnostic procedures, including cytomorphology and immunohistochemistry analyses together contributed to the detection of metastasis of prostate cancer and synchronous plasma cell proliferation in the bone marrow. The association between these two disorders is poorly understood however, some studies show that bone marrow microenvironment may play a crucial role. The need for further research in this regard is required to unfold this fascinating association.
