Unusal: Patients under 30 yrs contribute only 0.3% of all myeloma patients.Presenting clinical and laboratory features are similar to those observed in older patients, except a higher proportion of young patients have only light-chain myeloma. The 10-year survival rate was remarkably high in young patients after conventional (19%) and high-dose therapy (43%). Youngest patient in recent series was 20y.

Possible but unusual: Please talk to your doctor about a bone marrow biopsy for further evaluation.
