Abstract
Three patients with myeloma who were not suspected as having such a disease just at admission, were treated in our clinic for this few years. A 52-year-old-man with paraplegia and cachexia, was revealed as a Diffuse-Myeloma with Epidural-Myeloma by autopsy. Another 64-year-old-man with osteolytic shadow in his left femur, was histologically suspected as a reticulum-cell-sarcoma, but electron microscope showed him as a myeloma. Another 22-year-old-man with soft-part-tumor in his left thigh, was histologically vertified as an Extramedullary-Myeloma. One of the most important things on the diagnosis of a myeloma is to remember always such a disease existing in many patients.
