Abstract Cone beam computed tomography is widely used in dentistry. Incidental findings are common, with many requiring intervention or monitoring. We present a rare case of previously undiagnosed, asymptomatic multiple myeloma first identified incidentally on cone beam computed tomography and panoramic radiography. This case highlights the diverse range of lesions that may appear on cone beam computed tomography and the importance of radiologic interpretation.
