Multiple Myeloma
Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma causes a group of abnormal plasma cells (myeloma cells) to multiply, raising the percentage of plasma cells to more than 10% of the cells in the bone marrow. The result can be erosion of the bones, leading to fractures. These fractures occur most frequently in weight-bearing bones, such as the vertebrae in the spine. The exact cause of multiple myeloma isn't known.
