During an autopsy, Rustizky found eight separate tumours of the bone marrow, which he designated as ?Multiple Myelomas?. Although Von Rustizky?s did not mention albuminuria (Bence Jones protein), in Russia, the term ?Rustizky?s disease? is often used for multiple myelomaIn 1889 O. Kahler (1849-1893) and H.
