Abstract:
Myelomatous involvement of the maxilla is an exceptionally rare occurrence, and the presentation of the lesion as an expansile jaw bone tumour has not been reported. 2 cases, one with a maxillary lesion, the other with a mandibular lesion are presented, both of which illustrate gross bone expansions. Additionally, 1 case presented with a rare biclonal IgG kappa and IgG lambda light chain secreting myeloma. Relevant clinical, immunological, histological, biochemical and histochemical features are presented and discussed, and suggestions pertaining to surgical management made.
