Radiol Case Rep. 2020 Dec 17;16(3):433-437. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2020.12.014. eCollection 2021 Mar.

Abstract

Muscular manifestations of sarcoidosis are commonly found on biopsy but rare on correlated imaging. We present a rare case of a 36-year-old male patient with sarcoid myositis and image findings of active myositis in the lower back and pelvic girdle musculature. This case suggests considering sarcoidosis as a differential diagnosis in the setting of chest findings and new lower back and lower extremity weakness.

Keywords: Myopathy; Myositis; Sarcoidosis.
