Abstract

Maxillofacial presentations in patients with multiple myeloma are not uncommon, but multiple myeloma is often overlooked. Because the symptoms are various, it is very difficult to diagnose multiple myeloma in the oral and maxillofacial region. On the basis of the pathologic and clinical findings, the patient was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Hematologic screening and a radiographic survey further confirmed the diagnosis.
