Gelatinous bone marrow in an HIV-positive patient.
Gelatinous bone marrow transformation has been identified in patients with anorexia, malignancy, malabsorption, and HIV/AIDS. This represents a deposition of gelatinous material within the bone marrow, along with atrophy. We report the case of an HIV-seropositive man who presented with low back pain related to his gelatinous bone marrow changes.
