title: Diabetes myonecrosis - A rare complication.
abstract: We report a patient with very rare complication of poorly controlled diabetes. Diabetes myonecrosis is a self-limiting condition with unclear pathogenesis and it most commonly affects the quadriceps muscle. Physicians should consider this diagnosis in diabetic patients presenting with sudden onset, non-traumatic muscular pain.
