case_images: Subsequent urine and serum protein electrophoresis noted high free lambda light chains of 26.84 mg/dL and 47.7 mg/dL, respectively, and a low Kappa/Lambda urine ratio of 0.77 (Figure 1A). Further work-up including serum immunofixation and flow cytometry were not consistent with multiple myeloma (Figure 1B).
