Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: Extramedullary multiple myeloma (EMM) is a subset of multiple myeloma with a poor prognosis. We report a rare case with biopsy-proven concurrent liver and mesentery primary EMM at the time of initial staging after serologic diagnosis of multiple myeloma. 18 F-FDG PET/CT is valuable in detection of EMM when the patient has no osseous lesions and a negative bone marrow biopsy.
