title: Diabetic myonecrosis in a patient with hepatitis B-induced liver cirrhosis.
abstract: Diabetic myonecrosis-a rare complication of long-standing, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus-typically presents with acute-onset muscle pain, is self-limiting, and responds well to conservative management. We report a case of diabetic myonecrosis in a 33-year-old man with hepatitis B-induced liver cirrhosis and type 2 diabetes who presented with abdominal distension and pain in the left thigh. Diabetic myonecrosis was diagnosed based on clinical presentation, radiological findings, magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological investigations; he was successfully treated conservatively with insulin and analgesics. Diabetic myonecrosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of muscle pain in patients with diabetes.
