Bence Jones myeloma

multiple myeloma in which the malignant plasma cells excrete only light chains of one type (either 2 or 3); lytic bone lesions occur in about 60% of the cases, and light chains (Bence Jones protein) occur in the urine; amyloidosis and severe renal failure are more common than in multiple myeloma. Syn: L-chain disease, L-chain myeloma.
