Diffuse purely osteolytic lesions in myelofibrosis.
In myelofibrosis, the skeletal bones present radiologically as normal or with osteosclerotic or osteoporotic changes. Lytic lesions are very rare and when present are usually associated with osteosclerosis. We report on a case of a patient with myelofibrosis exhibiting diffuse purely osteolytic lesions.
