Abstract
Gluteus medius lesions are rare and can present with lateral hip pain. We present a spectrum of pathologies involving the gluteus medius and discuss the imaging features. A search of our oncology database at tertiary orthopaedic oncology service was performed. The imaging features of these were analysed. There were nine cases involving the gluteus medius, which included soft tissue sarcomas, lipomas, infection and trauma with an average age of 62 years. Gluteus medius lesions are rare and one should be aware of these as these can present as lateral hip pain.
