Proliferative myositis of the masseter muscle [PDF]
The Laryngoscope, 1987 AbstractThe authors present a case of a 33‐year‐old white man with a 4‐month history of a rapidly enlarging, tender, painful, circumscribed facial mass located in the masseter muscle. CT scan and fine needle aspiration cytology, coupled with clinical assessment, suggested the diagnosis of proliferative myositis. Curative intraoral excisional biopsy was

Protective Effects of Clenbuterol against Dexamethasone-Induced Masseter Muscle Atrophy and Myosin Heavy Chain Transition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Glucocorticoid has a direct catabolic effect on skeletal muscle, leading to muscle atrophy, but no effective pharmacotherapy is available. We reported that clenbuterol (CB) induced masseter muscle hypertrophy and slow-to-fast myosin heavy chain (MHC ...

Unusual Case of Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy in Adolescence—Case Report and Literature Overview
Diagnostics, 2022 Unilateral hypertrophy of the masseter muscle is a very rare pathological entity in children. Its etiology is uncertain and it requires a high degree of suspicion, as it must be differentiated from other conditions of the masseter area.
