    Myeloma:

    Tumor of bone marrow: a malignant tumor that develops in the cells of the bone marrow that produce blood cells.

    Myloma is the incorrectly spelt form of it.

    It's not even a word.

    Unless you're looking for the word "Melanoma."

    This is a tumor of skin: a malignant tumor, most often on the skin, that contains dark pigment and develops from a melanin-producing cell melanocyte.

    I used to confuse Myeloma and Melanoma.

    Melanoma is a skin cancer. Also know as Malignant Melanoma.

    Myeloma is a malignancy of the plasma cells in the bone marrow. Also know as Multiple Myeloma.
