[Rapid progressive focal myositis of the head and neck region: a case report].
[focal myositis]
A
46
-
year
-old
woman
noticed
a
painful
lump
in
the
neck
following
fluctuating
multiple
arthralgia
in
the
previous
3
months
.
The
neck
nodule
grew
rapidly
,
and
was
associated
with
an
elevation
of
the
serum
creatine
kinase
activity
.
Under
a
diagnosis
of
focal
myositis
,
corticosteroids
were
introduced
,
soon
resulting
in
an
amelioration
of
the
symptoms
.
A
biopsy
from
the
neck
nodule
revealed
a
muscle
tissue
with
scattered
foci
of
densely
packed
inflammatory
cells
.
Some
of
the
cells
had
features
similar
to
the
granuloma
,
which
were
compact
collection
of
cells
and
partial
tendency
of
the
cell
fusion
.
These
findings
suggest
a
close
relation
between
some
cases
focal
myositis
and
granulomatous
myopathy
.
