Abstract:
Extensive skeletal involvement of multiple myeloma was detected by Ga-67 citrate imaging while searching for infectious foci. The case was unique in that a radiographic skeletal survey showed typical lytic lesions only in the skull, and extensive myeloma involvement in the skeletal system was an incidental finding. A high tumor cell burden was presumed to be present, which led to a rapid and fulminant clinical course in this patient.
