We're all familiar with the spinal findings of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). Radiographic manifestations in the pelvis are usually symmetrical and include:
- Enthesophytes (yellow arrows): Irregular outgrowths or whiskering seen most commonly at the iliac crests, ischial tuberosities, and the trochanters.
- Para-articular osteophytes (red arrows): Broad and well-defined. Seen at the acetabular margins, sacroiliac joints, and pubic symphysis. Sacroiliac osteophytes tend to affect the inferior margins.
- Ligamentous ossification: Iliolumbar (black arrows) and sacrotuberous ligaments.
