Myelomatous Involvement of the Central Nervous System

Myelomatous involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is an uncommon complication that portends a poor prognosis in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Limited data exist regarding optimal management of CNS myeloma. In this case-control study, we examine the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of CNS myeloma patients compared with a control group of MM patients without CNS involvement, matched by the date of diagnosis and gender.
