Abstract: We are highlighting on the particularity of a clinical picture of pulmonary embolism revealing light-chain myeloma in a 56-year-old male patient. Myeloma remains a rare affection. Even though its revelation through pulmonary embolism remains rare, it can be explained by hyperviscosity syndrome accompanying it.
