M82.03: Osteoporosis in multiple myelomatosis Forearm
You have osteoporosis.
With osteoporosis, the bone tissue is less dense than usual. As a result, the affected bones are less strong and they break more easily.
Bones consist mainly of bone cells, certain proteins and various minerals. The minerals include calcium and phosphate, in particular. The bone tissue is constantly being broken down and built up again. This enables bones to adapt well to loading. There is usually a balance between the growth and breakdown of bone tissue.
Your osteoporosis has been caused by a cancer. The tissue in the body is made up of cells. With cancer, the cells multiply uncontrollably, which leads to a malignant neoplasm (abnormal growth of tissue) developing. The cancer cells can destroy the healthy tissue and spread throughout the body. With this cancer, certain immune cells get out of control and multiply inside bone. These immune cells can then destroy normal bone tissue. As a result, bone tissue in your forearm is less dense than usual.
