Abstract

One case of juvenile multiple myeloma of the IgG-kappa type, with lytic lesions of the skull, is reported in a 14-year old Nigerian Fulani girl. The outcome was rapidly fatal. This disease is extremely rare: only 2 other documented cases (2 girls aged 13 and 12) have been found in the literature, under the age of 15.
