Abstract
- Diabetic muscle infarction (DMI) is a rare complication of long-standing diabetes mellitus. The typical feature of DMI is abrupt onset of thigh pain, tenderness, and swelling and then spontaneous resolution over several months and frequent recurrence. Until 2004, a case of DMI has been reported among end-stage renal disease patients on dialysis in korea. Under-recognition or misdiagnosis (cellulitis, myositis, abscess, hemorrhage, and tumor) by physicians may contribute to the relative rarity of the diagnosis. We report a case of recurrent diabetic muscle infarction in a hemodialysis patient.
