Our bone marrow creates plasma cells that make antibodies, which play an important role in fighting off viruses and bacteria. Multiple myeloma causes the bone marrow to create dysfunctional antibodies and plasma cells. A malignant plasma cell or cancer cell is referred to as a myeloma cell.

Myeloma cells frequently grow in multiple patches or areas in the bone marrow, which is why "multiple" is part of the name. Plasma cell myeloma is another common name for the condition.
