Focal Myositis

IBM

We present a 9 year old boy with a focal myositis presenting as a pseudotumor on the right calf. Other smaller masses were present in the thigh and pretibial area on the same leg. The principal lesion recurred after two surgical excisions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Pseudotumor

    Abstract Focal myositis is a self limited, benign, inflammatory pseudotumor of skeletal muscle, which spontaneously regresses. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    In addition to analgesic and corticosteroid drugs, we prescribe intensive physiokinesi therapy with passive joint mobilization when stiffness and hard muscle contracture occur. The use of a splint may also be helpful in treating this problem. [mltj.org]

    There was a pronounced lumbar lordosis, and both hips were flexed, any attempt at extension causing excruciating pain. [bmj.com]

  • Neck Mass

    Most unilateral head and neck masses are benign, although malignancy is a possibility in some cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    The otolaryngologist is often confronted with the challenge to diagnose and treat neck masses in the adult population. The differential diagnosis includes both inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. [deepdyve.com]

    A 34-year-old man presented with a 3-week history of sudden-onset, nontender, left upper neck mass that was nonresolving with antibiotics. [journals.lww.com]

    We present the case of a 7-year-old boy with a 2-week history of a painful, unilateral neck swelling, fever, and torticollis. He failed to respond to antibiotic therapy and required an open neck exploration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    The patient presented with diffuse neck swelling and pseudothrombophlebitis of the left internal jugular vein. [eurekamag.com]

Patients who present with classic IOM (as described above) may require basic laboratory workup with imaging, along with traditional corticosteroid therapy. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

Oddis does not perform a workup. Instead, he recommends that the referring physician prescribe a different statin or cholesterol-lowering agent to the patient. [the-rheumatologist.org]

NAM has been associated with malignancy and statin use. [6] See Etiology, Presentation, and Workup. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis have many shared clinical features. Both present as symmetrical muscle weakness that develops over weeks to months. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    There were no laboratory findings indicative of an infection: antibodies against neurotropic and hepatotropic viruses and bacterial antibodies against Borrelia, Campylobacter, Chlamydia, Salmonella and Yersinia were negative. [academic.oup.com]

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. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis is good, and all cases reported in the literature were self-limiting and gradually resolved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis is very good as most cases of focal myositis resolve spontaneously. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Summary Epidemiology The prevalence is unknown. There have been approximately 115 cases described to date. Clinical description The disease can occur at any age. [orpha.net]

It is thus important to know the epidemiology, presentation, management and prognosis. Clear delineation of tetanus spasms with seizure spells is required for effective management.Disclosure: Dr. Kolikonda has nothing to disclose. Dr. [medworm.com]

Pathophysiology On muscle biopsy, the muscle cells show small rimmed vacuoles, and no evidence of inflammation. This separates it from the inflammatory myopathies such as polymyositis and dermatomyositis. [kenhub.com]

Statins are widely used to lower increased cholesterol levels with the aim to prevent major cardiovascular events. However, they bare the risk of myotoxic side effects. We report on two patients with focal weakness and pain in the upper extremities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Physical therapy may also help prevent permanent muscle shortening. You may also want to add whirlpool baths, heat and gentle massage. Rest. Getting enough rest is an important component of managing myositis. [hopkinsmyositis.org]

Early diagnosis and sticking to the treatment plan are important to prevent permanent muscle weakness. Children experience JDM differently. [rheumatology.org]
