Abstract
Aim: To Study the Multiple Myeloma & Its Features, Diagnosed in JLNMCH, Bhagalpur
Methods & Materials: Blood, X-rays, Serum Electrophoresis, Urine Examination, Bone Marrow Examinatiousg, & Others.
Conclusion: Plasma Cell Neoplasm of Intermediate to Immature Differenciation. Serum Beta-2 Microglobulin Level is Extremely High. Serum Protein Electrophoresis S/O “M B and” (2.40 gms %) Seen in Beta -1 Region. Immunofixation (Serum Nephelometry) S/O High Serum IgA Level. Free Kappa (Light Chain), Serum by Nephelometry is high. Monoclonal Gammopathy seen in IgA and Kappa Region with separate band seen in Kappa Region .Multiple Punched Out Lesions Seen On Lateral View of Skull X ray. Homogenous Opacity Located in Right Middle and Lower Zone S/O Consolidation on CXR.
