title: [Multiple myeloma: evaluation of invasiveness by magnetic resonance imaging].
abstract: The paper presents a case history of multiple myeloma in a female patient. Its diagnosis was established only 10 years after the onset of the disease, which results in severe invalidity (she was treated with calcium preparations in accordance with the diagnosis of generalized osteoporosis. Persistent therapy with calcium preparations was ineffective; the number of pathological fractures increased. Further bone study and current instrumental imaging methods could make a precise diagnosis and use etiotropic treatment, which yielded a positive clinical effect. The data on high-technology studies, body magnetic resonance imaging used in the diagnosis of the diseases accompanied by bone destructive changes are given. The problems in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma are outlined.
