Multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant tumor of plasma cell characterized by overproduction of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow and skeletal destruction. The clinical features are bone pain, renal impairment, immunodeficiency, anemia and presence of abnormal immunoglobulins (Ig).

Multiple myeloma is animmunoglobulin-producingplasma cell neoplasm that commonly affectsthebones, kidneys,thehematopoietic system, and rarelythenervous system.Peripheral nervous systeminvolvement in the form ofcranial neuropathy,radiculopathy, andpolyneuropathy are common.Compressive myelopathy constitutesthemajorityof central nervous system disorders followed by cerebrovascular disorders, intracranial plasmacytomas,andleptomeningealmyelomatosis.Cerebrovascular complicationssuch as acute ischemic stroke and transient ischemicattackarenot uncommon.

Belber CJ, Graham DL.
Surg Neurol. 2004;62(6):506-9; discussion 509.
A large solitary amyloidoma in the cervical epidural space without bony connection and with minimal spinal cord compression and no myelopathy, as a first manifestation of disseminated amyloidosis in a multiple myeloma patient, has not been reported previously; this case is thereby distinct from the seven prior reports in the world literature, of a solitary amyloidoma of the cervical spine.

Two dogs with solitary plasmacytomas of the spine had chemotherapy and radiotherapy: the 1st survived 4 months and was euthanized after developing radiation myelopathy; the 2nd survived 65 months before developing multiple myeloma.
