description A rare association exists between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and multiple myeloma (MM). SLE is associated with a variety of symptoms. A combination of MM and SLE is uncommon in the young population. An unusual case of SLE associated with MM is described here. We present the case of a 39-year-old woman who was a known case of SLE and presented with severe chest and abdominal pain. We summarize the clinical characteristics of MM in SLE. The possible mechanisms that could be at the root of this association are also discussed.
