Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM) is typically characterized by neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow and can result in extensive skeletal destruction. Involvement of skull base is extremely rare, especially sphenoid bone. We report in this work the case of a 62-year-old woman, who presented with a sphenoid relapse of multiple myeloma treated with radiation therapy, with signicant clinical improvement and almost complete disappearance of the sphenoid metastasis. We shed light, through this case, on the rarity of sphenoid metastases in multiple myeloma and on the role of radiotherapy in the management of this type of location.
