Abstract

Abstract

 

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B-cell neoplasm secondary to various post-germline mutations, characterized by the development of a clone of plasma cells that secrete a specific subtype of immunoglobulin known as the monoclonal component. Anemia, kidney disease, and bone lesions are among the most common clinical manifestations. However, cases showing atypical clinical manifestations that can influence prognosis and quality of life are becoming increasingly frequent. Given that modern MM treatment is highly promising, it is necessary to identify those clinical conditions that limit therapeutic efficacy.
