  • Title: Myeloma with predominant phalangeal involvement.
    Author: Dastgir N, O'Dowd G, O'Rourke P.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Belg; 2004 Feb; 70(1):69-71. PubMed ID: 15055321.
    Abstract:
    A case of plasma cell myeloma involving the middle phalanx of the ring finger is reported. This was a case of a non-secretory myeloma; however, monoclonal immunoglobulins were demonstrated by immunohistochemical studies. Plasma cell myeloma with phalangeal involvement is extremely rare: our literature search disclosed only two well-documented cases. Plasma cell myeloma may occur in the hand, so it should be considered in the pre-biopsy differential diagnosis when bone lesions radiologically consistent with myeloma are encountered.
