Abstract

The case report of a multiple myeloma, in a 74 years old man, is presented. Data from seric
immunoglobulin, seric and urinary protein immunofixation and bone marrow aspiration are the main
support for the diagnosis. The aetiology, clinical, laboratorial and radiologic characteristics, specific
complications, prognostic factors, results of contemporary therapy and future therapeutic approaches
are discussed.
