Abstract
In 1981, a 48-year old man was diagnosed with insulin autoimmune syndrome. In 2005, he experienced a substantial increase in his monoclonal insulin antibody levels; in 2006 and 2007, serum monoclonal gammopathy and an 11% marrow plasmacyte ratio were confirmed. In 2012, asymptomatic multiple myeloma was diagnosed based on an increased γ-globulin fraction and serum M-protein (IgG) levels. The insulin antibody binding rate was 75.4% in 2005 and 78.8% in 2012. In 2012, he was hospitalized for ileus and died. Autopsy identified multiple myeloma and no endocrinological tumors in the pancreas.Entities:
