description We present a rare case of pediatric scurvy in a 9-year-old male who presented with nontraumatic knee pain. MRI was obtained due to the puzzling presentation. MRI demonstrated a systemic bone marrow abnormality which led to a conversation with the clinician and further elucidation of an extremely narrow diet lacking sufficient vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Diagnosis was confirmed biochemically with undetectable ascorbic acid level and clinically with compatible exam and history. This case highlights a thought process for unexpected bone marrow abnormality on MRI.
