Focal Myositis Localised in Gastrocnemius Muscle: is it Different from Isolated Gastrocnemius Myositis? A Case Report [PDF]
Focal myositis is a rare disease defined by an isolated inflammatory pseudotumour usually restricted to one skeletal muscle. Approximately, 250 cases of focal myositis have been described in the literature, and two recent large cohorts have been used to ...

Murine models of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are characterized by inflammation of muscles and other organs. Several myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) have been identified in IIMs and were found to be associated with distinct clinical features ...
