Multiple myeloma: a patient with unusual features including intracranial and meningeal involvement, testicular involvement, organomegaly, and plasma cell leukemia.

A 27-year-old Chinese male presented with multiple myeloma. Over his 18-month course he manifested a number of unusual features of his disease including his young age, marked organomegaly, a testicular plasmacytoma, multiple intracranial extraskeletal plasmacytomas and meningeal involvement, and peripheral blood plasmacytosis. The case is described and recent literature on these rare manifestations is reviewed.
