Male 63 years old Reason: R/o new myelomatous lesion History: lower back pain, left hip pain ACETABULAR LABRUM: Although the study is not protocoled for detailed evaluation of the labrum, no labral tear is identified.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is mild heterogeneity of the of the marrow of the bones of the hip on T1-weighted images which could simply represent residual red marrow or low burden multiple myeloma but we see no discrete lesions on T2-weighted or contrast-enhanced images. Mild osteoarthritis affects the hip joint with a small focus of signal abnormality within the anterosuperior acetabulum which likely represents a small cyst. SOFT TISSUES: No significant abnormality noted. ADDITIONAL
1. Mild heterogeneity of the bone marrow signal could represent residual red marrow or multiple myeloma of low tumor burden however we see no large/discrete lesions.2. Vertebral body compression fractures, degenerative disk disease, and other findings as above.
