Abstract
Extramedullary disease of multiple myeloma (EM) remains a treatment challenge even in the era of new drugs.

This review summarizes current knowledge about this clinical entity, including its history, diagnostics, imaging methods, incidence, prognosis, current treatment options, risk factors and known molecular mechanisms that might be involved in pathogenesis of EM.Entities:
