Abstract:
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a disease reported to account for 1% of all cancers and 10% of hematological malignant diseases. Unlike other malignant diseases that are transferred to the osseous tissues, MM does not show new bone formation, is associated with characteristic osteolytic lesions, and shows monoclonal protein (M-protein) on the immunohematological test, which is an important index in its diagnosis. Solitary lesions of MM are rare in the head and neck area, and, in most cases, MM of the head and neck area is related to systemic sympomts.
