Multiple myeloma with oral manifestations as maxillary ulceroproliferative lesion: A case report.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the most common malignant neoplasm of bone and can manifest with different clinical features in oral cavity. MM lesions in skull and jaws have characteristic punched out lesions but are often confused with meningioma when they occur in skull as solitary lesions. We report a case of MM that reported in oral cavity for which prompt diagnosis was done, but there were symptoms that persisted for years and a skull lesion that was diagnosed and treated as meningioma before MM was diagnosed from the oral lesions. This is the first case where the patient has been actually treated for meningioma, and then diagnosed with MM after months. In that case, SBP or MM should be included in the differential diagnosis of a dural mass, particularly when a patient is complaining of neurological deficits. Also, the role of oral physician in the diagnosis of MM should be stressed in diagnosis and multidisciplinary management, thus facilitating better clinical outcomes.
