Recurrent Focal myositis: a rare inflammatory myopathy.
[focal myositis]
Focal
myositis
is
an
acute
and
localized
muscle
inflammation
of
unknown
aetiology
.
The
clinical
diagnosis
is
often
difficult
to
obtain
,
since
it
can
be
confused
with
infections
,
vascular
thrombosis
or
muscle
tumours
such
as
sarcomas
.
This
leads
to
a
significant
delay
in
the
diagnosis
,
resulting
in
the
administration
of
inappropriate
and
potentially
harmful
treatments
.
We
report
here
a
case
of
recurrent
focal
myositis
in
a
woman
where
the
diagnosis
was
only
obtained
after
6
years
,
despite
multiple
hospital
admissions
.
This
case
reinforces
the
importance
of
clinical
knowledge
and
experience
to
tackle
challenging
medical
scenarios
.
