Abstract
|
|
|
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells within the hematopoietic bone
marrow. Symptoms of MM are related to osteolytic lesions, to the replacement of bone marrow by the neoplastic
process and to renal insufficiency. Involvement of the temporal bone has been reported to occur in the terminal
stage of MM. However, at this stage, otological symptoms are overshadowed by the manifestations of diffuse
skeletal disease. There has been only one case of MM involving the temporal bone reported in Korea. Here we
report a patient who presented with otalgia due to the plasmacytoma of temporal bone and finally diagnosed as
multiple myeloma.
