Abstract:
A 25-year-old woman with acute knee pain and a lytic area in the proximal femur was diagnosed as having multiple myeloma (MM). This case is one of only eight in patients younger than aged 30 years to meet modern diagnostic criteria for MM. Failure to consider MM in young individuals precludes early diagnosis and valuable time for treatment.
