ABSTRACT
Cholesterol crystal embolism caused by showers of cholesterol emboli from an atherosclerotic aorta is a multisystem disorder that affects many organs. Common signs and symptoms on presentation include skin findings and renal failure. However, myositis due to a cholesterol embolism is uncommon. We report a rare case of cholesterol crystal embolism that presented with features of focal and foot necrosis in an 83-year-old woman.
