PLASMA CELL NEOPLASIA
• I. DEFINITION • Is a group of related malignant disorders of terminally differentiated B
lymphocytes (plasma cells), of which plasma cell myeloma or multiple myeloma is the most common (90% of cases).
• This condition is characterized by bone marrow multifocal infiltration by malignant plasma cells. There are typically multiple destructive lesions or diffuse demineralization of bone. The tumour cells secrete a homogenous, complete or partial, immunoglobulin molecule, an M component or para protein, most commonly IgG or IgA.
II. ETIOLOGY• Genetic predisposition• Ionizing radiation • Chronic antigenic
III. ORAL MANIFESTATION
• Maxillary or mandibular lesions • Root resorption and loss of lamina dura may
be found.• Amyloid like deposition in the gingiva and
tongue.
IV. DENTAL MANAGEMENT
• Patients are prone to postoperative hemorrhage due to thrombocytopenia.
• Development of dental amyloidosis.• Dental hygiene care should focus on controlling infections
associated with a compromised immune system.• Patients being treated with bisphophonates must be
monitored closely for the development of osteonecrosis of the jaw.
