      Multiple Myeloma: Neoplastic monoclonal proliferation of bone marrow plasma cells, characterized by lytic bone lesions, plasma cell accumulation in the bone marrow and presence of monoclonal protein in serum &/or urine. Epidemiology: Incidence slightly higher in blacks. M > F. Median age of diagnosis: 69 years for males; 71 years for females

      Normally plasma cells occupy less than 1 percent of bone marrow cells, but in myeloma a malignant clone of plasma cells becomes autonomous, and disease results from the greatly increased number of plasma cells and (often) their associated secreted monoclonal antibody, called M protein or paraprotein.

      The molecular mechanisms of the related plasma cell dyscrasias monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and multiple myeloma (MM) are poorly understood. This has important clinical implications because MGUS is a benign plasma cell hyperplasia whereas MM is a uniformly fatal malignancy.

      Multiple Myeloma (MM) is part of a spectrum of diseases that involves the neoplastic proliferation of a monoclonal clone of plasma cell that produces immunoglobulins. MM is the second most frequent hematologic malignancy in the United States after non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Patients with asymptomatic myeloma may not require immediate treatment.

      Neoplastic plasma cells often grow poorly in cell culture; therefore, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is commonly used to enhance the sensitivity of detecting cytogenetic abnormalities in plasma cell myeloma and plays an important role in prognostic assessment.

      Abnormal findings in the above tests will identify more than 98% of cases of plasma cell disorders. It should be noted that MGUS, SMM, and multiple myeloma are all more frequent in African Americans. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to seek further consultation. Early diagnosis is a key aspect of achieving best outcomes for myeloma in 2021 and beyond.

      "myeloma" means a malignant disease of plasma cells, in which a single line of plasma cells accumulates and produces a monoclonal immunoglobulin. This definition includes plasma cell leukaemia, multiple myeloma and solitary plasmacytoma of bone or extramedullary plasmacytoma, but excludes monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.

      Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the bone marrow plasma cells -- white blood cells that make antibodies. A cancerous or malignant plasma cell is called a myeloma cell. Myeloma is called “multiple” because there are frequently multiple patches or areas in bone where it grows.
