ResumoExtraosseous multiple myeloma involving the cricoid cartilage is exceedingly rare. CT is invaluable for detecting this lesion. Herein, we describe a patient with worsening dyspnea due to involvement of the cricoid cartilage with multiple myeloma. CT not only detected the lesion but also revealed additional classical lytic lesions of multiple myeloma. In patients with worsening dyspnea laryngeal involvement should be included in the differential diagnosis.
