[Radiologic study of the jaws in the course of myeloma. A propos of 111 cases].
The authors studied the radiological manifestations in bone in 111 patients suffering from multiple bone myeloma. The analysis deals mainly with the maxilla, and in particular with the lower maxilla which was the site of myelomatous lesions in 49 cases. The authors describe two different types of image observed and the radiological methods used, and they discuss the principal problems of diagnosis. They emphasize the diagnostic value of systematic study of this site, which may be solitary, without a concomitant lesion of the cranial dome in particular.
