ABSTRACT

Multiple myeloma is a hematological neoplasm derived from alterations in B lymphoid cells characterized by skeletal abnormalities called multiple myeloma bone disease. Objective: Determine the location of fractures in patients with multiple myeloma at the Regional Hospital "Gral. Ignacio Zaragoza" from 2016 to 2019. Material and methods: Retrospective study, we reviewed the radiological clinical records of patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma in the period from January 2016 to December 2019. Results: We included 33 patients with multiple myeloma. Three patients (9.1%) presented a fracture with characteristics of a neoplastic process and subsequent diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Other patients had symptoms of multiple myeloma bone disease: low back pain 42.4% (n = 14), generalized bone pain 15.2% (n = 5). In 24 patients, we documented a fracture associated with multiple myeloma: spine 39.4% (n = 13), humerus 12.1% (n = 4), hip 9.1% (n = 3), appendicular skeleton 9.1% (n = 3) and femur 3% (n = 1). Conclusion: 24 patients (78.7%) were diagnosed with a fracture associated with multiple myeloma, being more frequent in the spine, humerus, and hip.
