ABSTRACT

Focal myositis is a benign inflammatory pseudotumor of a skeletal muscle that clinically mimics a tumor of soft tissue, but the cause of which is obscure. I report here a case of multifocal recurrent nonpainful myositis found in a 68-years-old man who showed a subacute multifocal recurrent nonpainful inflammatory myopathy affecting discrete muscle groups with spontaneuous remission and/or some medication.

Key words: Multifocal recurrent nonpainful myositis
