A 48-year-old woman with serous atrophy of bone marrow from bulimia nervosa. a Coronal T1-weighted image demonstrates abnormal diffuse hypointense marrow signal with fracture of left femoral neck. b Coronal STIR demonstrates abnormal hyperintense signal in the bone marrow and surrounding subcutaneous or intermuscular tissue (arrows). c CT at the level of the femoral fracture (double arrow) shows depleted high attenuated fat tissue. d Histopathologically shrinkage of fat cells (black arrows), decrease of hematopoietic cells, and deposition of abundant amorphous extracellular gelatinous substances (asterisk) were observed (hematoxylin-eosin stain, × 100)
