Publication/Presentation Date

5-1-1983

Abstract

An interesting case of kappa light-chain plasma cell myeloma with pathologic mandibular fracture is presented. Traditional fracture management techniques were abandoned in view of the advanced state of this patient's disease. With the use of adjunctive radiotherapy and a soft diet, clinical union of the fractured mandible was achieved without immobilization.
