J Med Imaging Radiat Sci. 2023 Sep;54(3):562-565. doi: 10.1016/j.jmir.2023.06.006. Epub 2023 Jul 13.

Abstract

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the most common primary osseous malignancy in adults, and it mainly affects men aged between 50 and 70 years. Although rare, central nervous system (CNS) involvement in MM is possible, and it has very poor prognosis. Therefore, fast and accurate diagnosis of CNS manifestation of MM is paramount. Here we describe a case of sphenoid bone localization in a patient with highly aggressive and refractory MM.
