Focal myositis in a patient with bilateral painful nodules.

[focal myositis]

A 30-year-old African-American man presented with painful lower extremities and bilaterally symmetrical dermal nodules. Examination of a biopsy specimen of one of the nodules showed focal myositis overlying a deeper defect. Subsequent excisions produced multifocal eruptive lipomas. The histopathologic findings of focal myositis are reviewed along with this previously unreported association.
