[focal myositis]

Focal myositis secondary to an intramuscular vascular malformation has rarely been reported in the literature . We describe a 21 -year -old woman presenting with left thigh pain . Imaging of the thigh muscles showed a vascular malformation and muscle biopsy demonstrated focal changes diagnosed initially as myositis . Ischaemia is thought to be the responsible mechanism .
