    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology
    • Skeletal Diseases

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma and solitary plasmacytoma are common reticuloendothelial diseases primarily affecting bone marrow, with potential extramedullary involvement.
    • These conditions are part of a B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder continuum, typically diagnosed in individuals aged 50-70, often presenting with pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the nature, diagnosis, and management of multiple myeloma and solitary plasmacytoma.
    • To highlight the role of surgical intervention in managing complications and improving patient survival.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis relies on laboratory tests, skeletal surveys, and bone marrow or lesion biopsy.
    • Treatment involves medical therapy, with radiation and surgery for local control and complication management.

    Main Results:

    • Despite advances, the prognosis for these diseases remains poor.
    • Surgical interventions can effectively manage painful and disabling aspects of the disease.

    Conclusions:

    • While a cure is not yet possible, surgical and medical advancements improve the quality of life for myeloma patients.
    • The surgeon plays a crucial role in enhancing survival and enabling a more productive, pain-free existence for individuals with myeloma.
