A 46-year-old woman was evaluated at this hospital because of pain in the right hip and leg of several months' duration. The patient had a history of celiac disease but was otherwise well. Imaging studies disclosed multiple bone lesions in the pelvis and long bones, with a diffuse abnormality in the bone marrow. Laboratory tests showed low serum calcium and elevated alkaline phosphatase levels. A diagnostic procedure was performed.
