Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM) presenting as ascites [1] and elevated amylase, lipase [2] is rare. We report a case of 57-year old female, with known Type 2 Diabetes mellitus presenting with fever, abdominal distension and elevated amylase, lipase diagnosed to have multiple myeloma with a rapid downhill course.
