Myositis is an infrequent side effect of statin therapy, usually presenting as diffuse myositis with muscle weakness and cramping involving multiple body parts. We report a case of focal myositis of a hip muscle diagnosed on magnetic resonance imaging, as the underlying pathology was suspected to be related to an orthopaedic disease due to isolated hip symptoms, and which was finally attributed to statin intake. Awareness to this rare cause of musculoskeletal symptoms is indicated in case a patient presents with probable orthopaedic disease and is on statin therapy.
肌炎是他汀类药物治疗罕见的副作用，通常表现为弥漫性肌炎，伴有肌肉无力和痉挛，累及身体多个部位。我们报告一例通过磁共振成像诊断的髋部肌肉局灶性肌炎病例，由于孤立的髋部症状，其潜在病理被怀疑与一种骨科疾病有关，最终归因于他汀类药物的摄入。如果患者患有可能的骨科疾病且正在接受他汀类药物治疗，应注意这种导致肌肉骨骼症状的罕见原因。
