[Ultra high-risk refractory multiple myeloma with a complex karyotype including t(14;19)].

A 78-year-old man was hospitalized because of rapid progression of chronic renal failure and diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM) IgG-λ type ISS-III R-ISS-II with complex karyotype including t(14;19). Even after receiving bortezomib-based regimens, his renal failure progressed. He became dependent on dialysis, which was required three times a week. After introducing the daratumumab (DARA)-based regimen, his renal function improved, the frequency of dialysis decreased to twice a week, and the free light chain (FLC) ratio also improved. However, his myeloma eventually followed a refractory course; therefore, pomalidomide (POM)-dexamethasone (Pd) regimen was administered. Pd regimen had a marked effect and normalized the FLC ratio after three courses of the treatment. However, his myeloma reprogressed with multiple extramedullary masses and he became del(17p) positive; eventually, he died on the 470th day of disease. MM with t(14;19) is rare and has a poor prognosis with a highly aggressive course; however, early introduction of DARA or POM may provide long-term response.
