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-year-old man who showed a subacute multifocal recurrent nonpainful inflammatory myopathy affecting discrete muscle groups with spontaneous remission and/or some medication.
