Focal Myositis: A Clinicopathologic Study of 115 Cases of an Intramuscular Mass-like Reactive Process
American Journal of Surgical Pathology , 06/26/09
Auerbach A et al. - Focal myositis seems to be a macrophage and T-cell-rich lesion that changes to B cell and dendritic plasmacytoid cells when markedly inflamed, but does not seem to have a known viral or molecular etiology. IgG4 presence may be linked to the fibrosis in these lesions; a possible transient autoimmune etiology cannot be excluded. Careful attention to reproducible clinicopathologic features can aid diagnosis and spare patients from excessive surgery or adverse therapy.
