Multiple myeloma with intractable lumbar pain and diagnostic challenge with MRI: A case report

We present a 63-year-old male patient with intractable bone pain and rapidly progressive osteoporosis, who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM) by CT despite normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. The gold standard diagnostic modality for MM is MRI as it can be used to sensitively eva...

description We present a 63-year-old male patient with intractable bone pain and rapidly progressive osteoporosis, who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM) by CT despite normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. The gold standard diagnostic modality for MM is MRI as it can be used to sensitively evaluate bone marrow, however, the current case highlights that MRI is not always accurate in evaluating MM. CT in combination with MRI could be used for secondary osteoporosis with intractable bone pain in order to determine the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
