title: Hypervascular presentation of multiple myeloma involving the skull, demonstrated on encephaloscintigraphy.
abstract: We present two cases of myelomatous involvement of the skull. Correlative studies with routine radiography, angiography, and encephaloscintigraphy were performed. The areas of involvement of the skull were confirmed as autopsy. A mixed pattern of photon-deficient and photon-abundant lesions was noted. The clinician should be aware of such mixed patterns.
