Introduction: mortality associated with patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is the only data available in Ecuador. This study aims to characterize the disease, determine its mortality rate and describe related factors in the cases of MM treated at the Carlos Andrade Marin Hospital. Materials and methods: retrospective analysis of demographic data, clinical characteristics of patients with MM, collected between january and december 2011. Results: 52 patients between 29 to 89 years (mean 61), 15 were women (29%). 73% had an IgG myeloma, 28% IgA and 19% were light chains. According to the staging system Durie and Salmon (D & S) 13% in stage I, stage II 25%, 33% stage III. 41% was excluded because information was not available. Mortality in the advanced clinical stage of myeloma (D & S stage III) was 10% in stages I and II were not registering deaths. Renal damage was more frequent in stage III (33%) compared with stages I (13%) and II (25%). Conclusions: mortality was associated with advanced stages of MM (stage III) and kidney damage present (29%).
