Abstract

A 62 years old woman diagnosed with dermatomyositis went to MRI examination because of her left hip pain and on her imaging findings the high signal intensities on iliopsoas, proximal thigh muscles and some pelvic muscles we determined, in addition there was no any contrast enhancement. However, there are haemorrhages on her left psoas muscle. We evaluated these findings as haemorrhagic myositis, which is the rare situation seen during follow up such these patients.
