Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
X-ray pelvis with both hips showing ill-defined lytic lesion (arrow mark) involving the right ilium with minimal periosteal reaction.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Coronal (A) and axial (B) fat-suppressed MRI shows increased signal intensity in the right iliac bone, small area of liquefaction and adjacent cortical erosion. In continuity with the bone lesion, hyperintense collection is seen medially displacing the iliacus muscle and laterally in the gluteal muscles. The collection appears hypointense on axial T1WI (C). T1WI, T1 weighted Image.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Long axis grey scale ultrasound image of the right/left lumbar region shows a large hypoechoic lesion (thick black arrow) in the psoas muscle seen anterior to the cortex of the lumbar spine (thin black arrow) with small anechoic areas (thin white arrow) within it (suggesting necrosis and thus abscess formation).
