Diagnosis difficulties in multiple myeloma.
Some difficulties in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma are presented. The atypical onset (pseudorheumatismal, anaemic, renal or neurological one) as well as the presence of a biological syndrome during some other diseases which may generate the confusion with the multiple myeloma are discussed with reference to the personal casuistry (30 cases of multiple myeloma in a lapse of 12 years). Some peculiar cases of the two categories of difficulties are presented in detail. A careful clinical and biological examination should be performed in every case, as both situations may involve, affect, the prognosis quo ad vitam of the patient.
