Gelatinous bone marrow in an HIV-positive patient

Jeffrey S. Stroup, PharmD, BCPS, Johnny R. Stephens, PharmD, and Damon L. Baker, DO

Gelatinous bone marrow transformation has been identified in patients with anorexia, malignancy, malabsorption, and HIV/AIDS. It is identified as a deposition of gelatinous material within the bone marrow, along with atrophy. We report the case of an HIV-seropositive man who presented with low back pain related to his gelatinous bone marrow changes.
