New England Journal of Medicine, 2004 AbstractMultiple myeloma is a clonal plasma cell malignancy that accounts for slightly more than 10% of all hematologic cancers. In this paper, we present a historically focused review of the disease, from the description of the first case in 1844 to the present.

Annual Review of Medicine, 2011 Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B cell neoplasm of the bone marrow with a complex array of clinical manifestations including anemia, bone lesions, hypercalcemia, renal dysfunction, and compromised immune function. It accounts for 10%–15% of all hematologic malignancies, and 20% of deaths related to cancers of the blood and bone marrow.

Current Problems in Cancer, 2009 Multiple myeloma is a typical bone marrow neoplasia of the elderly. On radiographs it is often difficult to detect the typical osteolyses in early stages or in regions where overlying structures hamper image analysis. Osteoporosis may be a sign of tumor infiltration, but it is difficult to distinguish from senile osteoporosis.
