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

ABSTRACT: 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
