Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal B-lymphocyte neoplasm of terminally differentiated plasma cells. The cause of multiple myeloma is unknown. Data from cloning and gene-sequencing studies strongly imply that the malignant clone in multiple myeloma arises from a late cell in B-cell development. A 63yr old male presented with the complaints of swelling in the right side of the clavicular region. Various investigation; CT scan, biochemical analysis of serum protein, and pathological studies were done. Serum electrophoresis showed an M band.
