case_images: Events are outlined in the timeline (Fig. 1) and summarized below.
case_images: Top left: radiation fields of the left femur, with sagittal (top left), coronal (top right), and axial (bottom) views. The isodose levels shown are 16.7, 50, 95, and 100%. Top right: PET/CT showing edema and increased FDG uptake of the left thigh, consistent with myositis, with front-facing 3D (top) and axial (bottom) views. Bottom: MRI showing edema of the left thigh, consistent with myositis, with T1-weighted coronal images (top left), T2-weighted coronal images (top right), and T1-weighted axial images (bottom).

case_images: She underwent surgical stabilization of the femur with rod placement, followed by postoperative radiotherapy, 30 Gy in 10 fractions (Fig. 2a). PET scan showed increased FDG activity and edema in the left thigh that was thought to be consistent with postradiation inflammatory changes (Fig. 2b).
