Abstract

The radiographic findings of a 15-year-old Brazilian male with diagnosis of multiple myeloma are described. He presented with claudication and recent onset of tender painful swelling of the right mid leg. Radiographs showed wide spread "soap bubble" lesions of the skull, long bones, spine, pelvis, ribs, shoulders, and clavicles. The diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of a plasmacytoma on tissue biopsy (femur), serum IgG gammopathy and Bence-Jones proteinuria.
