  • Title: Recognizing Oral Manifestations of Multiple Myeloma.
    Author: Jhamb T, Syed AZ, Baur D.
    Journal: J Mass Dent Soc; 2015; 64(1):18-9. PubMed ID: 26168529.
    Abstract:
    Multiple myeloma exhibits varied clinical and radiographic presentations; therefore, awareness of suspicious oral lesions in patients with history of the disease is critical for proper diagnosis and treatment. This report illustrates a case where a patient with multiple myeloma initially presented with oral manifestations of the disease. Oral clinical and radiographic presentations of patients with myelomatous lesions can mimic other dental pathologies, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. Dentists should be familiar with oral clinical and radiographic presentation of multiple myeloma and know appropriate diagnostic tests in order to avoid misdiagnosis and treatment delays.
