Focal myositis

open access: yesClinical Rheumatology, 1998
Focal myositis is a pseudotumor of soft tissue that typically occurs in the deep soft tissue of the extremities, and is a relatively rare lesion. There is a wide clinical spectrum, with approximately one-third of patients with focal myositis subsequently developing polymyositis, and clinical symptoms of generalized weakness, fever, myalgia, and weight ...

Myositis-specific and myositis-associated autoantibodies in Indian patients with inflammatory myositis

Rheumatology International, 2016
We aimed to study the prevalence and clinical associations of myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) and myositis-associated autoantibodies (MAAs) in a large cohort of Indian patients with idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM). Clinical details and serum samples were collected from patients with IIM (satisfying Bohan and Peter Criteria, 1975) and CTD-

Myositis and malignancy

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1984
Dermatomyositis appears to be associated with a greater frequency of malignancy than expected in the general population. For polymyositis, there does not appear to be a greatly increased risk of malignancy. Ovarian cancer may be overrepresented in women with dermatomyositis and difficult to detect.

Autoantibodies in myositis

Nature Reviews Rheumatology, 2018
The discovery of novel autoantigen systems related to idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (collectively referred to as myositis) in adults and children has had major implications for the diagnosis and management of this group of diseases across a wide range of medical specialties.

Australasian Radiology, 2001
SUMMARYFocal myositis is a rare, benign focal inflammation of muscle. The lesion often presents as a mass that may be mistaken for a soft tissue sarcoma. This report describes the MRI and histopathological features of a case and illustrates how the diagnosis may be suspected on the basis of the MR findings.

Streptococcal Myositis

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1992
Streptococcal myositis (SM), is a very serious condition with a high mortality rate. The port of entry of the infection is often unknown. We present here a case report concerning a 68-year-old patient with fulminant SM preceded by symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection. Haemolytic streptococci of group A were found in the blood, muscle tissue

Infantile Myositis

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1982
SUMMARYInfantile polymyositis is rarely diagnosed, so potentially treatable children may be missed. Three children with the disease are presented who have responded well to steroid treatment. In all three cases the original diagnosis had been congenital muscular dystrophy.RÉSUMÉMyosite infantileLa polymyosite infantile est rarement diagnostiquée et ...

Ocular Myositis

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2012
Ocular myositis frequently manifests with orbital pain and diplopia. The diagnosis of ocular myositis falls within the overall classification of idiopathic orbital inflammatory diseases, defined as non-infective non-specific orbital inflammation without identifiable local or systemic causes.
