Clin Nucl Med. 2025 Feb 1;50(2):e127-e129. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000005584. Epub 2024 Nov 27.

Abstract

Extraosseous manifestations are found in less than 5% of patients with multiple myeloma. They can arise in any tissue, and their presence has been associated with more aggressive disease. We present FDG PET/CT findings of immunoglobulin A κ multiple myeloma with innumerable hypermetabolic right lower extremity lesions of cutaneous and subcutaneous involvement of plasmablastic plasma cell myeloma in a 44-year-old man.
