Abstract/Notes

Objective: Kappa (κ) light chain multiple myeloma can be disguised as low back pain (LBP), and as such may present to a primary contact provider such as a chiropractor. The rarity and non-specific nature of the clinical presentation of this condition typically lead to a delayed diagnosis.

Case presentation: A 53-year old male avid golfer presented to a chiropractor with a chief complaint of LBP. He was diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. His pain was initially improving with chiropractic management. The character of his pain changed, and the chiropractor referred for further imaging. He was subsequently diagnosed with κ light chain multiple myeloma.

Summary: This case presentation highlights that spinal malignancy is a possible cause of LBP. It reminds the clinician to investigate signs and symptoms that could lead to a suspicion of malignancy, to monitor patient progression, and consider further evaluations if the expected response to treatment is not achieved.

Objectif : Un myélome multiple à chaîne légère (kappa) (κ) peut se cacher derrière des lombalgies qu’un fournisseur de soins primaires, comme un chiropraticien, peut ne pas reconnaître. En raison de la rareté et de la nature imprécise des symptoms cliniques, ce type de myélome est souvent diagnostiqué tardivement.

Exposé du cas : Un fervent golfeur de 53 ans s’est présenté dans une clinique de chiropratique en se plaignant de lombalgies. Le chiropraticien a diagnostiqué une trouble de l’articulation sacroiliaque. Au début, le traitement de chiropraxie a soulagé la douleur. Mais comme sa nature évoluait, le chiropraticien a recommandé un examen par imagerie, qui a révélé un myélome multiple à chaîne légère k.

Résumé : Les tumeurs de la colonne vertébrale peuvent être une cause de lombalgies. Le présent exposé de cas rappelle au clinicien de rechercher les causes des signes et des symptômes pouvant faire soupçonner un cancer, de surveiller l’état du patient et d’envisager des examens plus approfondis si le traitement ne donne pas les résultats attendus.
