Summary This manuscript presents an unusual radiographic manifestation of multiple myeloma occurring in the mandible. A 40-year-old man, referred to our hospital, presented with a swelling of the right mandible. Microscopic examination and laboratory tests confirmed the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Radiographic examination revealed a well-developed sun-ray appearance suspected in osteogenic sarcoma. This observation suggested the possibility of the periosteal reaction in this case of multiple myeloma.
