[Myeloma localized to the mandibuloparotid region (author's transl)]

Abstract:
Myeloma is a malignant hematopathy with multiple lesions, mainly in bones. The authors report a case in which the myeloma was present in the mandibuloparotid region only. The atypical nature and rarely observed location (mainly parotid) of the lesion raised diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic problems that were resolved by close cooperation with a team of hematologists. Therapy was by surgery only, in this particular case, because of the early stage of the lesion, but regular close surveillance is essential.
