Lesão lítica de mandíbula em mulher com mieloma múltiplo usuária de bisfosfonato

Abstract

Bisphosphonates are commonly used in the treatment of multiple myeloma and other bone metastatic neoplasias. They are usually well tolerated; however osteonecrosis of the jaw is a recently reported side effect seen with the use of parenteral bisphosphonates. We report a case of osteonecrosis of the jaw in a patient treated for multiple myeloma with chemotherapy and parenteral pamidronate.
