Inflammatory focal myositis of the sternomastoid muscle: is there an absolute indication for biopsy? A case report and review of the literature.
[focal myositis]
Focal
myositis
is
a
localised
inflammatory
process
affecting
skeletal
muscles
belonging
to
the
pathological
group
of
inflammatory
pseudo
tumours
of
soft
tissue
that
includes
myositis
ossificans
,
proliferative
myositis
and
nodular
pseudosarcomatous
fasciitis
.
Very
rarely
,
it
may
affect
one
of
the
neck
muscles
and
present
as
a
neck
lump
,
in
which
case
both
the
clinical
and
pathological
picture
can
mimic
a
sarcoma
.
We
describe
a
case
of
focal
myositis
of
the
sternocleidomastoid
muscle
,
present
a
review
of
this
rare
condition
and
debate
the
necessity
of
biopsy
.
