Multiple myeloma is a rare cancer of the plasma cell that grows out
of control in the bone marrow. Multiple myeloma may also be referred
to as plasma cell myeloma, myelomatosis, or Kahler’s disease. Multiple
myeloma typically occurs in older adults, with an average age of 65
at the time of diagnosis. In some cases, the cause of multiple myeloma
can be related to benzene exposure or other toxic solvents and chemicals.
There are several types of multiple myeloma, including smoldering multiple
myeloma (SMM), plasma cell leukemia, nonsecretory myeloma, osteosclerotic
myeloma (POEMS syndrome), solitary plasmacytoma (also called solitary
myeloma of the bone), and extramedullary plasmacytoma. These types
of multiple myeloma have some differing characteristics and symptoms.
The most common symptom of multiple myeloma is bone pain, typically
in the back, chest, arms, and/or legs. Weakness and fatigue are also
common symptoms in patients with multiple myeloma cancer who suffer
from anemia.
