description Spinal cord injury is a devastating complication of cancers that exert physical compression on the spinal cord. Multiple myeloma is known predominantly as a condition that involves bony structures and can manifest with complications such as pathological fractures. However, involvement of other structures including spinal cord is a possible complication, with potentially catastrophic consequences. We describe a case of multiple myeloma presenting initially as severe paraplegia secondary to spinal cord compression in a 79‐year‐old man.
