title: Mandibular lesion as the first evidence of multiple myeloma. Case report.
abstract: Plasma cell dyscrasias affect the jaws relatively infrequently, and on rare occasions this is the first sign of the disease. This article describes the case of a patient aged 53 who presented with a lytic lesion in the right mandible which was initially diagnosed as an ameloblastoma. The diagnosis was made histopathologically and further investigation showed that the patient had multiple myelomatosis.
