Abstract:
Osteosclerotic myeloma is a plasma-cell dyscrasia characterized by osteosclerotic bone lesions, which may be associated with progressive demyelinating polyneuropathy. We describe a 49-year-old patient with rapidly deteriorating polyneuropathy associated with osteosclerotic myeloma, who responded favorably to a combination of intravenous immunoglobulin and radiotherapy.
