Statin-associated focal myositis.
[focal myositis]
Myositis
is
an
infrequent
side
effect
of
statin
therapy
,
usually
presenting
as
diffuse
myositis
with
muscle
weakness
and
cramping
involving
multiple
body
parts
.
We
report
a
case
of
focal
myositis
of
a
hip
muscle
diagnosed
on
magnetic
resonance
imaging
,
as
the
underlying
pathology
was
suspected
to
be
related
to
an
orthopaedic
disease
due
to
isolated
hip
symptoms
,
and
which
was
finally
attributed
to
statin
intake
.
Awareness
to
this
rare
cause
of
musculoskeletal
symptoms
is
indicated
in
case
a
patient
presents
with
probable
orthopaedic
disease
and
is
on
statin
therapy
.
