Advances in multiple myeloma with extramedullary plasmacytoma

Wanqiu Zhu

Abstract

Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare complication of multiple myeloma (MM). Compared with bone-restricted MM, the prognosis of MM with extramedullary plasmacytoma is poor and even novel agent contained treatment cannot overcome it. This paper reviews the advances in MM with extramedullary plasmacytoma from following four aspects, incidence, pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, treatment and prognosis. Key words: Multiple myeloma; Plasmacytoma; Incidence; Therapeutics; Prognosis; Extramedullary plasmacytoma
