Type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with smoldering myeloma and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

We report a 59-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) complicated with smoldering myeloma and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. A diagnosis of smoldering myeloma was made on the basis of elevation of IgA, M-protein (type:IgA-lambda) and histological findings of bone marrow without bone lesion. As to liver dysfunction, anti-HBV, anti-HCV and a series of auto-immune antibody were negative. She had no alcohol drinking habit and histological findings showed pericellular fibrosis without fatty degeneration, suggesting liver cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). To date, there are no reports of cases with DM, NASH and myeloma. Particular attention may be necessary for these complications.
