The purpose of this study was to review in detail cases of multiple myeloma diagnosed in University Malaya Medical Centre. we retrospectively reviewed 49 cases of Multiple Myeloma diagnosed within a 7 year period using patient-information system and laboratory information system. Data obtained were patient's demographic, clinical history and diagnosis, laboratory data included complete blood counts, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum calcium, serum albumin, serum creatinine, serum alkaline phosphatase, Bence Jones Protein, serum monoclonal protein, bone marrow findings, cytogenetics and radiological results. Of the 49 patients, 8.2% were younger than 50 years, and 24.5% were 70 years or older. The median age was 66 years. Lumbar back pain was the most common presenting complaint (38.8%) and 12.2% of patients had extramedullary plasmacytoma at diagnosis. Anaemia was present in all patients, hypercalcaemia (calcium level >2.6mmol/L) in 14%, and all 7 patients with positive Bence Jones proteinuria had a creatinine level more than 200μmol/L. lg G kappa was the most common M protein subtype seen in 57.1%.
