A71: localized myositis as a manifestation of systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a case series from a tertiary-care hospital.

Kitcharoensakkul M1, White AJ, French AR, Cooper MA, Baszis KW.Author information 1Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO.AbstractBACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Localized myositis is rarely reported in patients with systemic-onset JIA (sJIA), despite common symptoms of myalgia. We describe sJIA patients with the manifestation of localized myositis.

Focal myositis of lower extremity responsive to botulinum a toxin.

Mitrovic J1, Prka Z, Zic R, Marusic S, Morovic-Vergles J.Author information 1*Divisions of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology and †Hematology, Department of Internal Medicine, ‡Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, and §Division of Clinical Pharmacology, Department of Internal Medicine, University Hospital Dubrava, Zagreb, Croatia.AbstractFocal myositis is a rare, mostly benign disease (pseudotumor) of skeletal muscle, histopathologically characterized by interstitial myositis and tumorous enlargement of a single muscle. The etiology of focal myositis remains unknown; however, localized myopathy has been postulated to be caused by denervation lesions. This case report describes a patient that presented with clinical, laboratory, electromyoneurography, and magnetic resonance imaging features of focal myositis complicated with intervertebral disk protrusion in the lumbosacral spine affected with radicular distress. In most cases, focal myositic lesions show spontaneous regression, relapses are rare, and long-term prognosis is good. There is a wide spectrum of therapeutic options, from no therapy at all through nonsteroidal antirheumatics and glucocorticoids to radiotherapy, surgical excision, and immunosuppressants. In the patient presented, treatment with glucocorticoids, methotrexate, and surgical excision failed to produce satisfactory results. Clinical improvement, pain relief, and reduction in lower leg volume were only achieved by local infiltration of botulinum A toxin.

Localized scleroderma and regional inflammatory myopathy.

Zivković SA1, Freiberg W2, Lacomis D3, Domsic RT4, Medsger TA4.Author information 1Neurology Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, Pittsburgh, PA 15240, USA; Department of Neurology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA.

We report 2 new cases of regional inflammatory myopathy associated with localized scleroderma and review 10 reported cases of localized scleroderma associated with an inflammatory myopathy with regional muscle involvement, more often in the upper extremities. Serum creatine kinase was mildly elevated or normal. Histopathology often showed perimysial inflammation and plasma cell infiltration. These cases demonstrate that inflammatory myopathy should be considered in patients with localized scleroderma and regional muscle weakness, pain or atrophy. Muscle biopsy can confirm the diagnosis of myositis, which if identified, will require anti-inflammatory and/or immunosuppressive therapy.
