Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) can manifest a variety of neurologic complications. The authors report two patients who had development of a multifocal neuropathy related to infiltration of peripheral nerves by malignant plasma cells as the only manifestation of a relapse of MM, which was considered in full remission.

Disclosure: The authors report no conflicts of interest.
