Thyroid involvement in multiple myeloma.
Involvement of the thyroid gland by plasma cell neoplasms is a rare occurrence. Two modes of presentation are described; firstly as part of disseminated myeloma and secondly, as an isolated plasma cell neoplasm of the thyroid as the only evidence of disease. We wish to describe two cases of thyroid involvement as part of disseminated disease.
