Diabetic myonecrosis is a rare and under diagnosed complication of long standing dia- betes. Its diagnosis requires high index of suspicion because the clinical features mimic with those of pyomyositis, deep vein thrombosis and muscle hematoma. MR imaging is the cornerstone for diagnosis of the condition and treatment is mainly conservative by giving rest to the affected limb and NSAIDs. We report a case of diabetic patient who developed this condition twice and was managed successfully both the times with analgesics alone because of timely diagnosis based on characteristic MRI findings.
