IgE myeloma with osteoblastic lesions.

چکیده
A 69-yr-old man with persistent anemia had multiple myeloma with an IgE-type kappa M component and Bence Jones proteinuria. Bone x-rays revealed occasional lytic lesions associated with a diffuse sclerotic reaction throughout the skeleton. Special bone histologic studies utilizing tetracycline labeling, undercalcified sections, and microradiography confirmed active osteoblastic activity. This case was compared with the four previously reported cases of IgE myeloma, one of which also had osteosclerosis.

Bone scintigraphy has some limitations in detecting bone lesions at the time of diagnosis since Tc99m MDP scintigraphy does not trace lesions lacking osteoblastic activity3. Tc99m Sestamibi (MIBI) has been proposed as a potential tracer in patients with multiple myeloma, as its increased uptake in the bone marrow has been reported as an indicator of myeloma activity4. It has been suggested to b...

Immunoglobu...
