Multiple myeloma is a malignant plasma cell disorder that is rare in the pediatric population, with only approximately 0.3% of cases diagnosed before the age of 30. In this report, we present two patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma between the ages of 12 and 16. Their respective treatment regimens are discussed, including the use of both autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplant.
