Disease-controlled multiple myeloma in a patient with 17p gain and t(4;14) : A case report

© 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd..

Cytogenetic karyotypes such as t(4; 14), del(17p), t(14; 16), t(14; 20), and TP53 mutations are associated with high-risk multiple-myeloma (MM) and indicate poor prognosis. Therefore, cytogenetic testing is extremely important for determining prognosis of MM. However, the aberrant karyotypes reported in the current literature are incomplete. The cytogenetic karyotype 17p gain has not received widespread attention, and its relationship with MM prognosis is unknown; additionally, the prognosis of 17p gain associated with t(4; 14) has not been studied in depth. Therefore, we introduce a special case in which a patient had both 17p gain and t(4; 14). An 81-year-old woman was admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine for stomach discomfort. The patient had no relevant medical history. Laboratory tests, immunophenotyping, and haematological results suggested MM, and cytogenetic tests indicated 17p gain and t(4; 14) with no other abnormalities. She was treated with two different chemotherapeutic regimens and achieved very good partial response, but eventually experienced biochemical relapses after discontinuing therapy. However, she eventually achieved good disease control with a bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone-based regimen; she has survived longer than 5 years, much longer than the 1 year reported for MM patients with t(4:14), and been progression-free more than 3 years. We use this case to explore the possible relationship between the 17p gain and prognosis of patients with MM, as well as the treatment of MM with high-risk cytogenetic karyotypes. This case enriches the clinical application of cytogenetic analysis and adds important indicators for the prognosis of MM patients.
