Abstract
AbstractBackgroundMultiple myeloma (MM) is a hematopoietic malignancy characterized by monoclonal plasma cell proliferation. Mandibular involvement in patients with MM is rare, and its clinical and radiological characteristics remain unclear.Case PresentationA 78‐year‐old man presented with MM in the mandible, mimicking a radicular cyst. Chemotherapy yielded a poor prognosis, and the patient died 1.5 years post‐diagnosis. Literature suggests that jawbone involvement of MM is a poor prognostic factor.ConclusionThis report highlights the features of MM in the jawbone, and its variable manifestation, which may include non‐neoplastic findings, thus emphasizing the importance of a definitive biopsy‐based diagnosis.
