Abstract

Abstract: Multiple myeloma is a hematological cancer mostly located in the marrow of the vertebrae, pelvis, and thighs. Although the presence of extramedullary disease in the central nervous system is rare, herein, we report a complicated case of multiple myeloma in the spinal cord. Abstract : Multiple myeloma is a malignant genetic disease that mostly affects the bone marrow. Spinal cord metastases are an uncommon complication. Surgical decompression should be performed early to avoid deterioration.
