Abstract
- Focal myositis secondary to an intramuscular vascular malformation has rarely been reported in the literature. We describe a 21-year-old woman presenting with left thigh pain. Imaging of the thigh muscles showed a vascular malformation and muscle biopsy demonstrated focal changes diagnosed initially as myositis. Ischaemia is thought to be the responsible mechanism.<br /> (2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.)
