    Abstract:
    Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of terminally differentiated monoclonal B cells, which is characterized by the presentation of malignant plasma cell within the bone marrow and the secretion of monoclonal immunoglobulin. Extramedullary disease (EMD) may be found either at diagnosis or during therapy of these patients. For the patients with EMD, the response to conventional chemotherapy is poor and the prognosis is unfavorable. This review mainly discusses the research progress in the pathogenesis, the clinical feature, the therapy and the prognosis of MM with EMD.
