The features of MRI are variable, because plasma cell myeloma does not involve the marrow in a homogeneous fashion and because the extent of fatty marrow replacement which varies with age For differential diagnosis metastatic carcinoma, malignant lymphoma and hyperparathyroidism have to be considered.The lesions of metastatic carcinoma and malignant lymphoma are usually positive on bone scan, whereas those of myeloma are usually not. MRI findings may have prognostic significance in patients with myeloma; those with normal or only focal abnormalities on thoracolumbar MRI have a better treatment response and survival [1]
