Abstract: | The classic radiographic presentation of multiple myeloma is lytic skeletal lesions. Primary sclerotic manifestations are
rare and occur only in 3 % of cases. The imaging spectrum in three cases of multiple myeloma with primary osteosclerosis is
described. The first patient had spiculated sclerosis of the orbit, which is an uncommon site for myeloma. The second patient
with POEMS syndrome had multiple, scattered, skeletal lesions with sclerotic margins. The third patient presented with a chest
wall mass and had an expansile thick spiculated sclerosis in the rib. The wide imaging spectrum possible in sclerotic myelomas
and their relevant differential diagnosis is emphasized.
