Case description

The presentation of multiple myeloma can range from
asymptomatic to severely symptomatic with complications
requiring emergent treatment. Systemic ailments include
bleeding, infection and renal failure; local catastrophes
include pathologic fractures and spinal cord compression.
Although patients benefit from treatment (ie, longer life,
less pain, fewer complications), currently no cure exists.
Recent advances in therapy have helped to lessen the
occurrence and severity of adverse effects of multiple
myeloma.
