Core Tip	Plasma cell myeloma is not uncommon in hematologic disorders and typically presents with hypocalcemia, anemia, kidney damage, and bone destruction. However, some patients present it atypically, with lesions from other systems as the main manifestation, making the diagnosis difficult. For patients with complex presentations, necessary tests should be gradually refined through multidisciplinary discussion to obtain an accurate diagnosis. Clinicians need to accumulate clinical experience in the diagnosis of such difficult diseases.
