Abstract

It is reported on the symptomatology, diagnostics and therapy in a 54-year-old patient with a micromolecular plasmocytoma of kappa-type. Here particularly the impressionable improvement of the clinical picture after an intermitting impact therapy with melphalan (alkeran) - prednisolone in a period of treatment of approximately 2 years is emphasized.
