Definition
Bone infiltration by malignant plasma cells in patients with history of plasma cell myeloma. Bone involvement occurs in approximately eighty percent of newly diagnosed symptomatic plasma cell myeloma patients. The axial skeleton, particularly the spine, and the proximal long bones are the most commonly affected bone sites. It results in osteolytic bone lesions, widespread osteopenia, and compression fractures.

CancerIndex is a research and information platform. It does not diagnose and does not recommend treatment.
Key figures
Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".
No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
