Abstract EN
We retrospectively studied 30 cases of multiple myeloma in patients under the age of 65, diagnosed from 1991 to 2005 in the clinical hematology department of the University Hospital of Yopougon that is a hospital incidence of 2.9 cases/year.
The age of patients ranged from 34 to 64 years, with a mean age of 49 years and a sex ratio of 1.73.
The professional activity was variable with 3% of radiographers and 10% of farmers.
Clinically, the dominant sign was bone pain in 83% of cases.
Myeloma was secretory in 93% of cases.
It was Ig G-type in 86%, kappa-type in 66% of cases.
86% of patients were anemic, 20% had creatinine >20 mg/L, and 10% had serum calcium >120 mg/L.
Geodes were found in 80% of cases.
53% were at stage III of DURIE and SALMON.
Complications were infectious (33%), renal (20%), and hemorrhagic (7%).
Chemotherapy regimens were VAD (10%), VMCP (30%), and VMCP/VBAP (60%) with 47% of partial responses, 33% of stable disease, and 7% of very good quality partial responses.
The outcome developed towards death in 37% and causes of death were renal in 46% of cases.
The median survival was only 5.1 months.
