case_images: His weight loss pointed towards the possibility of a malignancy, but normal tumour markers with lack of specific findings on MRI hip and isotope bone scan ruled out this possibility as shown in Figures 2 and 3.    An MRI of the hips and pelvis (Figure 2) was performed, which revealed bilateral iliacus and iliopsoas oedema with enhancement, indicative of myositis.
case_images: Bone scan showing no osteoblastic abnormality throughout the pelvis.
