The authors describe a patient treated 16 years by phenylbutazone for ankylosing spondylarthritis and in whom appeared an IgA multiple myeloma with a Kappa light chain. This pathological association is rare and we can wonder about the respective etiopathological roles of spondylarthritis and its treatment by phenylbutazone in the occurrence of multiple myeloma.
