Abstract
Osteolytic lesions are among the hallmarks of multiple myeloma (MM). On the other hand, they are rare in B cell malignancies other than MM. Data have shown a close relationship between myeloma cell growth factors and factors involved in the occurrence of bone lesions in MM. Biophosphonates, which are potent inhibitors of bone resorption to control MM-induced hypercalcemia, are of interest due to their ability to slow the progression of MM bone disease.Entities:
