As a young doctor qualifying for his specialist degree in Uppsala, W allgren studied a number of cases of myeloma and presented his observations in a monograph: “Untersuchungen über die Myelomkrankheit” (1920). In several respects this work has been decisive for modern conception of the semiology of this disease. Another outstanding research worker, who has been active in Uppsala over many years, presents in this paper current views on the etiology and the clinical picture of myeloma.
