Multiple Myelomas

Develops in bones, but it’s not a primary bone cancer because it starts in the plasma cells of the bone marrow. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells. Normal plasma cells are found in the bone marrow and are an important part of the immune system. Myeloma begins when healthy plasma cells, which produce antibodies that help the body fight infection, change and grow out of control. This may result in multiple bone lesions that increase the risk of bone fractures.
