[Facial myositis: a localized form of generalized myositis?].

[focal myositis]

We report a case of myositis presenting as an apparently unique progressive facial weakness . The only biological abnormality after an 8 -year follow-up was an immunocytoma . Molecular analyses excluded facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy . Based on this single case and a review of the literature , we suggest a continuum between focal myositis and generalized myositis .
