2. Pathologic changes, the most common is the wasteful muscle atrophy, mostly seen in the lower limbs or pelvis serious injury, long-term bed rest treatment and braking patients. In these cases the gluteal muscles are not used for a long period of time, the local muscle fibers become thin and the surface of the gluteus maximus muscle may become depressed and uneven.
Severe malnutrition may also cause gluteal depression and whitening, mostly seen in patients with malignant diseases, such as advanced tumors. Malnutrition causes thinning of subcutaneous adipose tissue of the gluteal region, and the protein inside the muscle is consumed, resulting in the symptom of gluteal depression and whitening.
