Abstract
Diabetic muscle infarction is a rare condition which may present to a rheum atologist. It was first reported in 1965. Two illustrative cases are descri bed here and the mechanisms of pathogenesis discussed. Analysis of the publ ished data, results of the muscle biopsies, and a technetium-99m sestamibi scan suggest that the condition, which occurs against a background of diabe tic microangiopathy, can be triggered by an ischaemic event and causes exte nsive muscle necrosis through hypoxia-reperfusion injury and compartment sy ndrome.
