Recurrent focal myositis of the peroneal muscles.
[focal myositis]
Recurrent
focal
myositis
is
a
rare
entity
and
can
be
difficult
to
diagnose
and
treat
.
A
long
-term
follow-up
and
diagnostic
evaluation
was
carried
out
in
a
patient
who
presented
with
ankle
stiffness
secondary
to
a
painful
mass
within
the
calf
.
This
process
was
diagnosed
as
focal
myositis
of
the
peroneal
muscles
,
which
recurred
over
a
period
of
7
yr
.
A
review
of
the
literature
regarding
focal
myositis
,
treatment
options
and
a
successful
conservative
therapy
regimen
,
as
an
alternative
to
a
surgical
protocol
,
are
presented
.
After
making
the
diagnosis
with
the
help
of
a
muscle
biopsy
,
long
-term
therapy
should
be
considered
.
Conservative
treatment
of
focal
myositis
with
anti-
inflammatory
drugs
and
physical
therapy
can
be
successful
but
recurrence
may
occur
if
the
medical
treatment
is
interrupted
.
