Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow resulting in a production of monoclonal immunoglobulin.

This cancer often results in extensive bone destruction with osteolytic lesions and osteopenia. Sometimes patients will develop pathologic fractures. The laboratory findings of multiple myeloma may include anemia, hypercalcemia, and renal failure.


Recurrent infections and bleeding are not uncommon.


The symptoms of multiple myeloma include anemia, fatigue, and pallor.

Other symptoms of multiple myeloma include pain of the ribs and back sometimes associated with fractures of the bone. Symptoms of multiple myeloma can also include increased thirst, nausea, constipation, and vision changes.
