Abstract

Percutaneous osteoplasty (POP) as a technical extension of percutaneous vertebroplasty has been used as a treatment for osteolytic lesions in weight-bearing bones besides the vertebrae, and has demonstrated beneficial outcomes in terms of pain relief and functional improvement. However, its efficacy in non-weight-bearing bones is not well known. Herein, we present the case of a patient with an osteolytic lesion from multiple myeloma in the sternum, a non-weight-bearing bone, who obtained sustained pain relief and improvement of life quality after POP. These data suggest that POP may be an alternative treatment for osteolytic lesions in non-weight-bearing bones.
