“…MM, solitary plasmacytoma of bone and extra-medullary plasmacytoma are the three chief clinical entities of plasma cell myeloma/plasmacytoma. [ 7 ] Calvarium, mandible, pelvic girdle, sternum, clavicle and proximal sections of the humerus and femur are all common sites for myeloma infiltrates. It is common in patients older than 50 years of age, with a peak incidence rate of 60–70 years.…”

“…Hence, based on immunological profile, the presence of M band on serum electrophoresis, bone marrow biopsy and imaging findings of extensive bone lesions, the diagnosis of MM was made. After referral to Medical Oncology, the patient was advised for chemotherapeutic lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone regimen[ 7 ] cycle that was repeated every 21 days, without any side effects. At one year follow up, resolution of ‘punched out lesions’ can be observed on plain radiographs i.e.…”

Antiviral prophylaxis is considered mandatory against varicella zoster, while antibacterial prophylaxis is recommended for some patients based on their individual risk factors.…”

“…FISH study on BM showed 8.5% with 13q14.3 deletion and no abnormality on chromosome 11; normal karyotype. Ibrutinib was discontinued and the patient was started on palliative radiation to the spine followed by RVD regimen 13 (Lenalidomide [Revlimid ® ] 25 mg orally day 1‐14; Bortezomib [Velcade ® 1.3 mg/m 2 subcutaneously on days 1,4,8,11; and Dexamethasone 40 mg orally on days 1,8,15). Treatment was repeated every 28 days.…”
