Non-secretory myeloma: a rare variant of multiple myeloma.
The spectrum of plasma cell neoplasm represents indolent conditions like Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) to more aggressive multiple myeloma and plasma cell leukemia. Non-secretory myeloma comprises less than 01% of this spectrum where serum protein electrophoresis and quantitative immunoglobulins remain essentially normal. We are presenting a case report of this rare variant involving the sternum of an adult male.
