[Focal myositis: report of a case in pediatric age and review of the literature].
[focal myositis]
We
present
the
case
of
a
13
years
old
boy
with
a
year
-old
history
of
a
painful
tumour
on
the
external
and
distal
third
of
the
right
thigh
.
The
imaging
tests
suggested
a
soft
tissue
tumour
but
the
muscle
biopsy
revealed
the
typical
findings
of
focal
myositis
.
Focal
myositis
is
a
benign
inflammatory
pseudotumour
of
the
skeletal
muscle
recognized
as
a
distinct
clinicopathological
entity
,
but
there
have
been
descriptions
of
the
cases
initially
diagnosed
as
focal
myositis
that
have
latter
behaved
as
evident
polymyositis
.
We
have
not
found
laboratory
data
to
support
a
diagnosis
of
polymyositis
in
our
patient
.
Although
focal
myositis
is
considered
a
self-
limited
disease
,
we
believe
a
long
-term
clinical
and
biochemical
follow-up
is
warranted
,
to
confirm
the
absence
of
recurrence
signs
and
/
or
the
development
of
a
generalized
myopathy
.
