CLINICAL SUMMARY
Multiple myeloma presents as a proliferation of plasma cells in the marrow and is the most common primary malignancy of bone. Like other round cell tumors, myeloma lesions are quite radiosensitive. Therefore, although skeletal involvement can be extensive, the role for surgery is limited. Although most patients will have a good initial response to chemotherapy, the long-term prognosis remains guarded.
