Abstract:5009
Multiple myeloma is a neoplastic proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells that can result in osteolytic bone lesions, hypercalcemia, renal impairment, bone marrow failure, and the production of monoclonal gammopathy.

Such cases usually present as gastrointestinal hemorrhage or intestinal obstruction.
