Overview

Multiple myeloma must be differentiated from monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), isolated plasmacytoma of the bone, and extramedullary plasmacytoma.^[1]

Differentiating Multiple Myeloma from other Diseases

The table below summarizes how to differentiate multiple myeloma from other conditions that cause similar presentation:^[1]


Differential Diagnosis	Causes	Features	Therapy

Multiple myeloma	Chromosomal aberrations or other genetic insults Malignant transformation of plasma cells Clonal plasma cell proliferation	Diffuse bone pain and tenderness with osteolytic lesions Renal failure Hypercalcemia Anemia	Induction chemotherapy with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone Bisphosphonates RANK ligand inhibitors (denosumab) Autologous stem cell transplantation
Osteoporosis	Imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation Preceded by osteopenia Decreased bone mineral density	Acute musculoskletal pain if fracture develop Severe decrease in BMD on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) test T score less than -2.5 on DEXA scan	Calcium and vitamin D supplementation Bisphosphonates Weight-bearing exercise Teriparatide RANK ligand inhibitors (denosumab)
Osteomalacia	Inadequate mineralization of bone Deficiencies in vitamin D, calcium, or phosphorus Renal tubular acidosis Malabsorption	Diffuse bone pain, fatigue, and fractures Low bone mineral density (BMD) Hypocalcemia	Vitamin D3 supplementation
Scurvy	Vitamin C deficieny Malabsorption Hemodialysis	Gum disease Loose teeth Easy bruising	Vitamin C supplementation Citrus fruits
Osteogenesis imperfecta	Mutations in 'COL1A1 or COL1A2 Impaired type I collagen synthesis	Short stature, scoliosis, and propensity for fractures Blue discoloration of sclera	Bisphosphonates Physical therapy Surgical fixation of brittle bones Genetic counseling for offspring
Homocystinuria	Deficiency of cystathione beta synthase Deficiency of folate, vitamin B12, or vitamin B6	Diffuse bone pain and musculoskeletal symptoms	High-dose vitamin B6 supplementation Betaine supplementation
