Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant neoplasm characterized by an abnormal intramedullary plasma cell proliferation. It accounts for approximately 10% of all hematologic malignancies. It generally occurs between fourth and seventh decades of life, and it is predominant in male patients. Patients lower than 40 years are considered young, and only very few cases have been reported. We present a rare case of a 27-year-old man whose initial findings of MM were a swelling at the ramus of the mandible.
多发性骨髓瘤（MM）是一种恶性肿瘤，其特征为骨髓内浆细胞异常增殖。它约占所有血液系统恶性肿瘤的10%。通常发生在40至70岁之间，男性患者更为多见。40岁以下的患者被视为年轻患者，仅有极少数病例报道。我们报告一例罕见的27岁男性病例，其多发性骨髓瘤的最初表现为下颌支肿胀。
