Diffuse osteosclerotic lesions are a very uncommon radiologic presentation in multiple myeloma. These lesions affect the axial skeleton and proximal limbs; they may be accompanied by osteolytic lesions in the course of the disease. In fact, in cases of diffuse osteosclerosis, the diagnosis of multiple myeloma is reached only after ruling out other, more common diseases. We present an exceptional case of multiple myeloma with diffuse osteosclerosis and highlight the differences between this entity and POEMS syndrome.
