Becker muscular dystrophy associated with focal myositis on bone scintigraphy.
[focal myositis]
Bone
scintigraphy
was
performed
on
a
6
-
year
-old
boy
with
possible
sacroiliitis
.
Extraosseous
uptake
in
the
region
of
the
paraspinal
,
psoas
and
calf
muscles
was
noted
and
suggested
myositis
.
Subsequently
,
his
creatine
kinase
level
was
found
to
be
elevated
.
Results
of
a
neuromuscular
examination
,
muscle
biopsy
with
dystrophin
immunostaining
,
and
a
multiplex
polymerase
chain
reaction
led
to
the
diagnosis
of
Becker
muscular
dystrophy
.
A
patient
with
Becker
muscular
dystrophy
had
several
distinct
areas
of
myositis
localized
by
bone
scintigraphy
.
Pathologic
features
including
focal
myonecrosis
and
regeneration
may
contribute
to
this
scintigraphic
picture
.
