Solitary myeloma can be present in bone or may have a soft tissue origin. Solitary myeloma of soft tissues is known as extramedullary plasmacytoma. Just as lymphomas or leukemias, multiple myeloma is a very common type of blood cancer with the incidence of one in every one hundred and fifty persons.
