title: Muscle Involvement of Multiple Myeloma Revealed by FDG PET/CT.
abstract: Extramedullary myeloma can occur in variety of organs; however, muscle involvement is rarely reported. Here we present a case of a multiple myeloma patient with muscle involvement found by F-FDG PET/CT, which is sensitive in detecting extramedullary lesions of multiple myeloma. Plasmacytoma was confirmed by pathological biopsy afterwards.
