We have encountered 5 cases of multiple myeloma since 5 years, 4 cases had died, 1 case is alive.
The chief complaints were the pain on the low back, back and breast, and anemia.
Diagnosis:
2 Cases by the examinational excision.
2 Cases by the marrow puncture smears.
1 Case by the clinical views and the radiographic appearances.
The anemia and the accentuation of the red cell sedimentation rate were counted on the case of all.
Hyperglobulinemia: 2 cases.
Bence-Jones Proteinuria: 1 case.
Radiograph showed osteoporosis, punched out rundish rarefactions and fractures.
The differential diagnosis from osteoporosis, increasing recently, schould be careful.
