RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: The involvement of vital organs in multiple myeloma (MM) with systemic amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis can lead to acute organ failure. In this case, the fear of recurrence or progression of multiple myeloma often excludes those patients from undergoing organ transplantation. Nevertheless, clinically fit patients might benefit from a different therapeutic approach. This case presentation might highlight this particular unmet need and strengthen a different treatment approach. CASE PRESENTATION: To our knowledge, we present the first case of successful simultaneous liver and kidney transplantation, followed by autologous stem cell transplantation in a 60-year-old Caucasian male patient suffering from MM (Durie-Salmon stage IIB; ISS-stage: III, RISS stage: III) with primary AL amyloidosis. Chemotherapy treatment led to end-stage kidney disease requiring dialysis. Liver failure also occurred after at least three cycles of CyBorD (bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone) of induction therapy with a good hematologic response. Over three years after the initial diagnosis, the patient is reportedly showing an excellent quality of life and a complete remission. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: We conclude that kidney and liver transplantation followed by autologous stem cell transplantation can be a treatment option for a selected group of patients with MM if AL amyloidosis is leading. In the end, the remission assessment by IMWG response criteria displayed a complete remission of MM together with complete reconstitution of organ functions (liver & renal function) as long as upfront clinical evaluation excludes significant cardiac involvement and other severe co-morbidities.
