This case study presents a 65 year-old man who suffered from chest pain and had been referred to both the outpatient departments of cardiology and gastroenterology several times but in vain. His chest pain still persisted and was accompanied by cough and dyspnea. Pneumonia was then diagnosed by a chest physician, however, oral antibiotics treatment did not relieve his chest pain. He also experienced a loss of appetite and general weakness. Subsequently, he was admitted to the emergency room and hospitalized. During hospitalization, we consulted a neurologist and a hematologist due to osteolytic rib lesion and general weakness. The final diagnosis was multiple myeloma. The patient’s condition improved after receiving anti-myeloma therapy and was discharged. When a patient presents with chest pain, potentially fatal diseases should be excluded first. If the patient presents with unexplained anemia, osteolytic bone lesions, hypercalcemia, and renal function impairment at the same time, then multiple myeloma must be highly suspected. With the assistance of image study and laboratory tests, earlier diagnosis and treatment is advised.
