Abstract

A case of Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia with radiographic features of fibrogenesis imperfecta ossium is presented. The case raises the possibility that these radiographic findings might be more common in Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia than previously appreciated, and illustrates the need for bone biopsy to establish a definitive diagnosis of fibrogenesis imperfecta ossium.
