Discussion: - myeloma is malignant tumor of plasma cells arising from a single clone; - multiple myeloma accounts for> 40% of primary malignant tumors of bone. - it is most common malignant primary tumor of bone -...

Multiple Myeloma is a neoplasm of differentiated plasma cells resulting from malignant clonal expansion and overproduction of monoclonal immunoglobulins. Common complications include recurrent bacterial infections, anemia, osteolytic lesions and renal insufficiency.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells involving more than 10% of the bone marrow. The disease results in the production of monoclonal immunoglobulins, which may be identified with serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) or urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP). Plasma-cell proliferation causes extensive skeletal destruction with osteolytic...
