## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of multiple myeloma with two genetic translocations, highlighting their impact on disease and treatment.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in describing a rare double translocation case in multiple myeloma with clinical implications.

## Key findings

- A 63-year-old male had multiple myeloma with t(11;14) and t(14;16) translocations.
- The translocations were detected using FISH analysis.
- The findings suggest implications for disease progression and treatment strategies.

## Abstract

Multiple myeloma is a clonal plasma cell malignancy often characterized by complex cytogenetic abnormalities that influence prognosis and treatment strategies. This report describes a 63-year-old male with kappa light chain multiple myeloma and a rare finding of double translocation involving t(11;14) and t(14;16), detected by FISH analysis. This case emphasizes the clinical implications of such genetic abnormalities and their impact on disease progression and therapeutic decisions.
