Diffuse bone marrow signal abnormality throughout the pelvis

[Mike O’Donoghue]

I’m a 66 year old male and just had an MRI of my prostate which showed no abnormality. However, it showed ‘abnormal bone marrow’ with ‘innumerable small foci of T1 low signal’ and ‘corresponding patchy T2 high signal’. The MRI report suggests this may represent osteopoikilosis or myelodysplasia. I have an appointment with my urologist next week what questions or referrals should I seek to further clarify this diagnoses please?

(there was no evidence of pelvic lymphadenopathy)
thanks
Mike
