In both cases, dissemination occurred eventually. It is of interest, however, that we were not able to establish the diagnosis of multiple myeloma in one case on five separate sternal marrow aspirations. These cases are reported because of the initial diagnostic problems and the long survival of the patients.CASE REPORTSCase 1. A retired farmer, 63 years old in 1959, was first examined at the Mayo Clinic in 1942. He had no complaints referable to the skeletal system, and the final diagnosis on that admission was...Bibliography1.
