Özet

Background: A higher amylase than normal concentration may reflect one of several medical conditions, including acute inflammation of the pancreas, perforated peptic ulcer, torsion of an ovarian cyst, strangulation ileus, mesenteric ischemia, macroamylasemia, renal failure and mumps. In addition; amylase production by epithelial carcinomas has been well documented. But hyperamylasemia associated with multiple myeloma has been reported only in a few cases. We report a case with hyperamylasemia associated with multiple myeloma in this paper because of rarity.
