Abstract
A retrospective study of histologically proven cases of plasma cell myeloma during a 13-year period showed that bone scintigraphy was performed in 15 patients. With respect to radiologically shown areas of bone destruction, scanning revealed an increased (44%), normal (48%), or decreased (8%) radionuclide uptake. Abnormal scintigraphic findings were predominantly found in the axial parts of the skeleton. Abnormal isotope accumulations in the ossei occurred more often than normal uptake in symptomatic patients.
