Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multi-system disease characterized by a dysregulated immune system. Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is the only treatment that has been shown to confer significant benefit in controlling disease and improving survival for patients with SSc. A diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) after the diagnosis of SSc is rare and optimal treatment in such cases remains unclear. We here report a case of a female patient who was diagnosed with MM while she was undergoing evaluation for AHCT due to SSc. A novel conditioning regimen for AHCT, with therapeutic efficacy in SSc and MM was offered to the patient, resulting in long term remission of both diseases.
