Multiple myeloma is a little-known disease in young adults, it is rarely reported before the age of 30, even less if it is light chains. We report a case illustrating one of these exceptional situations. It has characteristics as organic sounding extended and favorable response to treatment despite diagnostic delay. We wanted to take the opportunity to raise awareness about the possibility of myeloma in adults at any age.
Author Keywords: multiple myeloma, light chains, the young adult, organic sounding, diagnostic delay.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma is a little-known disease in young adults, it is rarely reported before the age of 30, even less if it is light chains. We report a case illustrating one of these exceptional situations. It has characteristics as organic sounding extended and favorable response to treatment despite diagnostic delay. We wanted to take the opportunity to raise awareness about the possibility of myeloma in adults at any age.
Author Keywords: multiple myeloma, light chains, the young adult, organic sounding, diagnostic delay.
