Abstract: Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy involving the bone marrow. Patients may have smoldering (asymptomatic) disease or most of them will present with signs or symptoms related to the infiltration of plasma cells into the bone or other organs or to kidney damage from excess light chains and present with significant morbidity. Prompt recognition of symptomatic multiple myeloma is critical, because delayed diagnosis is associated with increased complications. In this review article we aim to enumerate the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatments modalities for multiple myeloma.
