Plasma cell myeloma (PCM) is a clonal neoplastic proliferation of terminally differentiated B lymphocytes (plasma cells/myeloma cells) that involves the skeletal system in a multifocal fashion. Even though jaw involvement has been reported in as many as 30% of cases, myeloma cells infiltrating into the pulpal tissue is extremely rare. Here, we present a case of PCM in which myeloma cells are seen infiltrating into the pulpal tissue of 46.
浆细胞骨髓瘤(PCM)是终末分化的B淋巴细胞(浆细胞/骨髓瘤细胞)的克隆性肿瘤增殖,以多灶性方式累及骨骼系统。尽管据报道高达30%的病例有颌骨受累,但骨髓瘤细胞浸润到牙髓组织极为罕见。在此,我们报告一例浆细胞骨髓瘤病例,其中可见骨髓瘤细胞浸润到46的牙髓组织中。
