Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the plasma cell disorder. It is a malignant condition of plasma cell derived from single clone. The incidence of myeloma increases with age. The mean age of diagnosis is 69 years. MM is more common in males than females. The incidence of MM is lowest in people from developing countries including Asia. Although MM may have cardiac manifestations but heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or dilated cardiomyopathy is unusual presentation. We report a case of multiple myeloma that rarely presented as dilated cardiomyopathy.
