A non-secretory myeloma is an exceptional form of myeloma (1% of cases). It is a subtype that does not present mono-clonal gammopathy in serum or urine. The study of free light chains in serum is also negative. Bone fragility and bone pain, mainly if associated with anemia, hypercalcemia, and kidney failure, suggest its presence. We present a 76-year-old woman with vertebral compression fractures and diffuse bone pain, finally diagnosed with advanced non-secretory myeloma. This case intends to raise awareness about a rare entity to make an early diagnosis and treatment.
