Abstract
We report a rare case of scrotal edema
associated with Bortezomib therapy in a patient with beta thalassemia major and
monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS). While dexamethasone is a
known cause of scrotal edema, this case highlights a possible role of
Bortezomib as the causative agent, particularly in the context of recurrent
symptoms despite steroid discontinuation. Clinicians should consider Bortezomib
as a potential etiology in patients who develop unexplained scrotal swelling
during therapy.
