A Case Study on Multiple Myeloma

A Case Study on Multiple Myeloma Rakesh Kumar Jha Dhruba Hari Chandi

Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM), also known as plasma cell myeloma and simply myeloma, is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell that normally produces antibodies. Often, no symptoms are noticed initially. As it progresses, bone pain, anemia, kidney dysfunction, and infections may occur. Multiple myeloma is a hematologic disease characterized by an increase in plasma cells in the bone marrow and, more commonly, the presence of monoclonal immunoglobulin in the blood and / or urine. It is the second major hematologic attack found to have an annual occurrence with an increase in the United States of nearly 15,000 and approximately 45,000, respectively. The condition is higher with age (age between acquisitions of 67 yr). This case report describes a multiple myeloma patient presented with muscle sclerosis and was suspected of having myotonic dystrophy type 2 and illustrates the aspects of differential diagnosis, the use of laboratory and imaging for diagnosis. Conclusion: Despite the fact that periodontal illness has a detrimental impact on one's quality of life, those benefits are often ignored. As a consequence, periodontal consultation can be a key component of MM care. Treatment for periodontal disease should begin as soon as possible.
