Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell dyscrasia seen in the elderly that constitutes 10% of all haematopoietic neoplasias. It is a systemic disorder affecting various organs, in particular the kidneys and bones. Skin involvement is not a common finding. This report presents a case of MM with skin involvement.
