Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a relatively uncommon malignant neoplasm, characterized by abnormal proliferation of plasma cell. It usually has a multicentric origin within the bone. It constitutes about 1% of all malignancies and 15% of all hematologic malignancies. We present a case of a 25-year-old male patient who presented with a gingival enlargement in the maxilla and mandible with punched-out radiolucencies in the skull and mandible.
