Introduction: Multiple myeloma is a malignant immunoproliferative disorder with lipoprotein abnormalities. We report a case of falsely low concentrations of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and artifactural undetectable HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) as measured with direct methods in a patient of multiple myeloma with IgG, monoclonal gammapathy and significant hyperlipidemia.Case report: The patient had HDL-C and LDL-C concentrations in the 0.63 0.71 mmol/l and 2.22 2.36 mmol/l ranges, respectively, as measured by a traditional semi-quantitative electrophoresis method, The observation of falsely low concentrations of LDL-C and artifactural undetectable HDL-C might result in the mismanagement of patients of multiple myeloma with monoclonal gammapathy, because the LDL-C and HDL-C concentrations are positive and negative risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.Conclusions: Care must be taken when using the homogenous method for direct measurement of LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol in patients of multiple myeloma with monoclonal paraprotein.
