Multiple myeloma is a malignant disease, which consists of the clonal proliferation of plasma cells that will lead to the accumulation of a monoclonal protein in the serum and/or urine, with organic damage. Extramedullary involvement is found in approximately 5% of cases of myeloma. Multiple myeloma with determination in the central nervous system is extremely rare and is associated with a bad prognosis. A targeted treatment scheme for this complication is not described, but the therapeutic approach should follow the same steps as in the case of other lymphoproliferative diseases with neurological involvement ( association of intrathecal chemotherapy applications – cytarabine and methotrexate, with systemic treatment and depending on the response local radiotherapy should be performed). The occurrence of extramedullary disease in the evolution of multiple myeloma is a complication associated with a poor prognosis.
