[MRI diagnosis and follow-up of bilateral necrosis of the humeral head as a complication after chemotherapy].
A 14-year old female patient was treated with chemotherapy including cortisone for malignant T-cell lymphoma. After chemotherapy she complained of pain in both hips and shoulders. Bone scintigraphy and conventional radiography failed to show any abnormality. However, bilateral femoral and humeral head necrosis was seen with MR imaging, which was also useful for follow up.
