Tuberculosis of the skull mimicking multiple myeloma

Med J Malaysia. 2014 Aug;69(4):197-8.

Abstract

There is a resurgence of tuberculosis globally but lesions affecting the skull are rare. Cases reported are of single, focal lesions as seen on plain x-rays. We report a 34 yearold patient with tuberculosis of the skull where multiple punched out lesions are seen, mimicking that of multiple myeloma.
