    Correct answer:

    Multiple myeloma.

    In this case, there are lytic lesions visible that fit the disease very well. They're also frequently found in the skull, which because of it's appaerance is then called a 'pepper and salt' skull. Other findings include an elevated ESR and high immunoglobulin levels (mainly IgG).
