Abstract

Focal eosinophilic myositis (FEM) is the most limited form of eosinophilic myositis that commonly affects the muscles of the lower leg without systemic manifestations. We report a patient with FEM who was studied by magnetic resonance imaging and muscle biopsy with a review of the literature.
