Abstract

Diabetic myonecrosis is an uncommonly encountered and underdiagnosed complication of diabetes
mellitus. It could be a manifestation of poor glycemic control, and hence, progressive microvascular
disease; however, it is usually self-limiting. A known but poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus
patient presented with sudden onset and worsening right thigh pain and swelling. Magnetic resonance
imaging showed hypertrophy and hyperintensity of the adductor muscles with non-enhanced
regions denoting areas of necrosis. Conservative management of bed rest, analgesics, and controlled
blood glucose yielded a positive response. Diagnosis of diabetic myonecrosis can be challenging
as many diseases mimic this condition, resulting in delayed recognition, diagnosis, and initiation
of prompt treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging findings rather than laboratory markers are the
mainstay of diagnosis as it localizes the affected muscles and excludes other mimics.
