Neoplasm Features

multiple myeloma
M spike in serum or urine
Clonal plasma cells in bone marrow
Related organ or tissue damage (CRAB)

MGUS
M spike in serum or urine (<30g>Clonal plasma cells in bone marrow <10
No related organ or tissue damage

Plasmacytoma

May have M spike
No clonal plasma cells elsewhere in bone marrow
No related organ or tissue damage
