Abstract
A number of laboratory tests are used to confirm the diagnosis of multiple myeloma, including M protein in the
serum. Since M protein in the serum originate from tumour cells in the bone marrow before circulating in the serum,
demonstration of M protein in bone marrow aspirate can be added to the batteries of diagnostic parameters.
