Overview
The first well-documented case of multiple myeloma was reported in 1844 by Dr. Samuel Solly, a distinguished surgeon at ST. Thomas hospital. The most popular case is that of an English businessman named Thomas Alexander McBean, in 1850. Mr. McBean excreted a large amount of protein in the urine which was described by Henry Bence Jones in the middle of the 19th century. Jones was a well-known physician and made many contributions to medicine. One of the best known cases of multiple myeloma was that of Dr. Loos that was reported by Otto Kahler an Austrian physician and pathologist.[1]
