Abstract
Central nervous system multiple myeloma (CNS-MM) is a rare and aggressive extramedullary manifestation of multiple myeloma, associated with poor prognosis and significant treatment challenges. Due to its rarity, data on incidence, risk factors, optimal therapeutic approaches, and long-term outcomes remain limited. This review aims to elucidate the current diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of CNS-MM and provide practical insights into real-life management strategies.
