BACKGROUND: No case of leukoencephalopathy has been reported associated with multiple myeloma. PATIENTS: We report on two patients with a very rare association of leukoencephalopathy and multiple myeloma revealed by cognitive impairment. RESULTS: Chemotherapy has improved neurological and biological signs. Radiological abnormalities have been stabilized. CONCLUSION: The authors suggest that leukoencephalopathy is probably a direct cerebral expression of malignant gammopathy.
