title: A bone to pick about chest pain.
abstract: Chest pain is an extremely common presenting symptom that is usually related to a cardiac cause. This case illustrates an unusual presentation of multiple myeloma as a cause of atypical chest pain. This case presentation shows the importance of having a broad differential diagnosis while evaluating patients with atypical chest pain. It also illustrates the potential role of Tc-99m sestamibi imaging as a diagnostic modality in patients with multiple myeloma.
