Abstract EN

Multiple myeloma is a malignant plasma cell disorder that accounts for approximately 10% of all hematologic cancers.

It is characterized by accumulation of clonal plasma cells, predominantly in the bone marrow.

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing; therefore, it is expected that there will be an increase in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma with concomitant diabetes mellitus.

The treatment of multiple myeloma and diabetes mellitus is multifaceted.

The coexistence of the two conditions in a patient forms a major challenge for physicians.
