myelomadefinition: cancer arising in the plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is the primary cancer of several conditions that fall under the general term of plasma cell neoplasm. The first symptom is bone pain. Other symptoms may include abnormal bleeding, painful swelling of the ribs, susceptibility to infections, deformities in the skeleton, particularly of the ribs and breastbone, and a shortening of the spine. Diagnostic procedures include X rays, bone marrow aspiration, blood and urine tests (to detect the presence of the bence jones protein), and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
