Abstract
The chief complaints of multiple myeloma are commonly described as weakness, skeletal pain, and arthralgia. Oral manifestations of multiple myeloma are rare in Japan. In our Department of Oral Surgery, Sapporo Medical College, from 1976 to 1986, multipul myeloma was seen in only one of 325 oral malignant tumor patients. This study reports on this particular case. A 51-year-old man having a mass formation in his posterior mandible of the right side is described.
He had biphasic IgD-λ type M-proteins in serum and Bence-Jones protein of λ type in urine, and he also had OKT 4 epitope deficiency.
