  2. Osteolytic lesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteolytic_lesion

    Osteolytic lesion at the bottom of the radius, diagnosed by a darker section that indicates a loss of bone density. An osteolytic lesion (from the Greek words for "bone" (ὀστέον), and "to unbind" (λύειν)) is a softened section of a patient's bone formed as a symptom of specific diseases, including breast cancer and multiple myeloma.

  3. Multiple myeloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_myeloma

    Myeloma activity sometimes appears as "lytic lesions" (with local disappearance of normal bone due to resorption) or as "punched-out lesions" on the skull X-ray ("raindrop skull"). Lesions may also be sclerotic, which is seen as radiodense. [76] Overall, the radiodensity of myeloma is between −30 and 120 Hounsfield units (HU). [77] Magnetic ...

  4. Skeletal survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_survey

    A very common use is the diagnosis of multiple myeloma, where tumour deposits appear as "punched-out" lesions. The standard set of X-rays for a skeletal survey includes X-rays of the skull, entire spine, pelvis, ribs, both humeri and femora (proximal long bones). It is more effective than isotope scans at detecting bone involvement in multiple ...

  5. Plasmacytoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmacytoma

    The proposed criteria for SPB is the presence of a single bone lesion, normal bone marrow (less than 5% plasma cells), small or no paraprotein, no related organ involvement/damage and a normal skeletal survey (other than the single bone lesion). The criteria for extramedullary plasmacytoma are the same but the tumor is located in soft tissue.

    X-ray of a giant cell bone tumor in the head of the 4th metacarpal of the left hand. An arm bone tumor. Bone tumors are traditionally classified as noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). [1] Several features of bone tumors and soft tissue tumors overlap. [7] Their classification was revised by the World Health Organization (WHO) in ...

  7. POEMS syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POEMS_syndrome

    Treatment of patients with this POEMS syndrome variant who have evidence of bone lesions and/or myeloma proteins are the same as those for POEMS syndrome patients. In the absence of these features, treatment with rituximab , a monoclonal antibody preparation directed against B cells bearing the CD20 antigen, or siltuximab , a monoclonal ...
