Abstract
The diagnosis of multiple myeloma is often suggested by disturbances found in routine laboratory tests such as sedimentation rate, electrophoresis of serum proteins and search for proteinuria. In light chain myeloma these tests are nonspecific and therefore misleading. We present 8 cases of light chain myeloma and discuss the diagnosis of multiple myeloma with its associated pitfalls.
