Metabolic osteopathies occur in a number of diseases of varying etiology. Among the most serious affections of bone tissue are malignancies (primary and secondary). In the case report the authors present a patient whose illness – the course of which was not wholly typical – required among other things differential diagnostics of multiple osteolytic foci.

Key words:
