Plain-English summary
A 13-month-old female Cairn terrier was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. After four weeks of illness, the dog developed tumors in the pelvis and bone damage that could be seen on X-rays. Unfortunately, treatment options were limited at this advanced stage of the disease, but chemotherapy was suggested as a possible course of action.

Abstract
A multiple myeloma in an unusually young Cairn terrier (13 months, female) is described. Radiographically, pelvic tumor masses and characteristic systemic osteolysis were found at the end of the 4 week disease course. Therapeutic attempts were hopeless at this stage of the disease, but a form of chemotherapy is recommended.
