ABSTRACT: A 57-year-old female was admitted with pancytopenia, and mild splenomegaly. The multiple myeloma diagnosis was wrongly made since the discovery of monoclonal peak to the protein electrophoresis. Further microscopic examination of bone marrow revealed the accumulation of sea-blue histiocytes. The evolution was stable and the patient did not receive any treatment due to the lack of nervous symptoms.
