[The osteocondensing variety of multiple myeloma. Review of the literature and description of a case].

A case of IgG myeloma with eburnation of the femoral and ileoischiopubic bones is described. A review of the literature confirmed the rarity of osteosclerotic myeloma, especially if other possible causes of bone eburnation or the typical contemporary existence of osteolysis are excluded. The hypothesis that osteosclerotic myeloma may constitute an autonomous form of the disease, probably related to the type and/or extent of the proliferating bone is discussed.
