Hello,

The bone marrow biopsy report shows elevated plasma cells with expression of lambda chains suggest plasma cell dyscrasia.
I suggest you get serum protein electrophoresis after consulting your treating doctor to rule out the possibility of multiple myeloma.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
