Here we present the case of a 61year old male who developed peritonitis secondary to a caecal perforation and was managed laparoscopically by means of a caecectomy. Our patient initially presented to the emergency department with a four week history of bone pain and weight loss and was admitted and diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM). He was commenced on combination therapy of Revlimide (lenalidomide), Velcade and Dexamethasone (RVD) and had just finished his first cycle when he developed sudden onset abdominal pain and diffuse tenderness.
