Abstract

Thrombocytopenia in patients with multiple myeloma is usually due to chemotherapy or marrow replacement with myeloma cells. Two patients with multiple myeloma who fulfilled criteria for the diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenic purpura are presented. The etiologic and therapeutic implications of this unusual association are discussed. Copyright © 1985 American Cancer Society
