Sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM) is an aquired slowly progressive inflammatory myopathy with unknown etiology. Although light microscopic abnormalities and characteristic histopathology on muscle biopsy distinguishes from other inflammatory myopathies, vacuolated muscle fibers, intracellular amyloid deposits or tubulofilaments in electromicroscopic findings are not definite in some patients. This review shows the prominently involved muscles in s-IBM and specific or nonspecific electrophysiologic manifestations from reported data for helping the diagnosis of definite-or probable-IBM patients. In lower limbs, the quadriceps is predominantly involved, as is iliopsoas, and tibialis anterior is common. In the upper limbs, the greatest weakness is in forearm finger flexors. Finger extensors, biceps and triceps also are moderately to prominently involved. The majority of patients demonstrate polyphasic MUAPs that are short in duration. An additional striking feature is the concomitant documentation of long-duration, large-amplitude, polyphasic MUAPs. In spite of the frequent mixed myopathic-neurogenic electromyographic findings of IBM, just like that of chronic myositis, asymmetric, slowly progressive weakness of flexor digitorum profundus or quadriceps femoris muscles after age of 50 is very necessary condition for the diagnosis of IBM.

The two main forms of myositis ossificans are congenital and acquired. Either form is rare in the head and neck region. The acquired form is often due to trauma, with bullying as a fairly common cause. This report of myositis ossificans of the platysma in an 11-year-old female patient emphasizes the need for a high index of suspicion in unexplainable facial swellings in children and the benefit of modern investigative modalities in their management.

Myositis ossificans progressiva, otherwise called fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare hereditary disease of unknown etiology, which is characterized by progressive ectopic ossification in connective tissues of the muscles, tendons, fascia and aponeurosis. We report a case of myositis ossificans progressiva confined to hands and feet, which has an unusual clinical feature with slow progression.

We describe the case of a 49-year-old right hand-dominant woman with myositis of the biceps brachii muscle unrelated to the inoculation site following Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination on the deltoid muscle of the left shoulder. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has involved global spread, and different vaccines including inactivated, protein, vectored, and nucleic acid vaccines have been developed and administered. Common side effects of COVID-19 vaccines include general manifestations such as headache, fever, and fatigue, and various musculoskeletal symptoms. Here, we present a case of myositis occurring in the biceps brachii muscle unrelated to the inoculation site, which has not been reported previously, accompanied by a literature review.

The musculoskeletal system can be involved as an extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease. Among these, myositis in ulcerative colitis (UC) is very rare. A 14-year-old girl was admitted due to severe shoulder tenderness. She had complained of left jaw pain and swelling for the past 10 days. Inflammatory markers were elevated with no evidence of infectious etiology. Myositis was suspected by shoulder magnetic resonance imaging. Three days after admission, she developed hematochezia. Muscle biopsy and colonoscopy was performed due to worsening left mandibular area pain and persistent hematochezia. Colonoscopy showed consistent findings with UC. She was finally diagnosed with UC with myositis as an extra-intestinal manifestation. She showed a dramatic response to UC treatment. Gastrointestinal symptoms were well-controlled. After 14 months, UC symptoms and muscle pain were aggravated, which were relieved after steroid and cyclosporin treatment. We report a unique case of UC initially presented with myositis, preceding gastrointestinal symptoms.

정상적인 골 조직에서의 성장과는 달리 연부조직에 2차적으로 비정상적인 골 조직이 신생되면서 골화되는 현상을 골화성 근염 또는 화골성 근염이라고 하며, 연부조직에 생긴 골은 가장 안쪽에는 어떤 원인에 의해서 생긴 출혈 또는 괴사 조직의 주위를 섬유모세포가 둘러싸서 생긴 층이 있고, 그 다음으로 골모세포(osteoblasts)로 형성된 미성숙 골조직 충이 있으며, 마지막 주위의 결합조직과 명확한 경계를 이루는 성숙한 골 소주로 구성된 층이 있다. 골화성 근염은 그 원인이 정확히 밝혀지지 않았으나. 혈류의 정체로 인한 저산소증, 비정상적인 칼슘 대사, 미세한 외상의 반복 및 심한 외상, 장기간 고정, 유전적인 원인 등으로 각기 다른 양상의 골화성 근염을 형성할 수 있다. 골화성 근염이라는 단어는 1868년에 Von Dusch에 의해 처음 사용되어 명확한 구분 없이 연부조직에 생긴 비정상 골조직을 일컫는 말로 사용되어져 왔다. 하지만 골화성 근염이라 할지라도 발생 원인과 조직 변화 및 상태 등을 고려한다면 첫째로 선천성 기형과 전신이환을 동반하는 진행성 골화성 근염, 둘째로 신경근과 만성질병, 사지마비, 소아마비, 화상. 다발성 관염 . 파상풍을 가진 환자에게서 발생하는 골화성 근염인 이소성 골화증, 새 번째로 연부조직의 심한 손상 또는 반복적인 손상, 골절, 탈구, 열상 외과적 절개에 대한 부차적인 반응으로 나타나는 외상성 골화성 근염. 네 번째로 위의 세 가지 원인이 아닌 원인으로 발생하는 비외상성 골화성 근염으로 분명히 구분할 수 있다. 때문에 단순히 골화성 근염이란 단어로 연부조직에 생긴 비정상적인 골을 통칭하기보다는 지금까지 언급한 내용을 고려해 보다 구체적인 질환명 즉 골화성 근염이 진행성인지. 이소성인지. 외상성인지. 비외상성인지를 명확히 구분하여 사용하는 것이 바람직하다.

Purpose: Myositis ossificans is a benign condition of heterotopic bone formation that still requires more of its pathologic explanation. The lesions are localized predominantly to the high-risk sites of injury, involving flexor muscles of the upper limbs and thigh, but rarely in the head and neck area. Methods: A case of a 44-year-old male patient presented with a palpable hard mass on nasal dorsum. The patient experienced a similar lesion on upper limb few years ago. On computed tomographic image, the lesion presented focal definite increase in opacity compatible to adjacent bone densitiy on nasal dorsum. Results: The lesion was excised under open rhinoplasty incision. The pathologic report revealed focal bone formation and calcification within skeletal muscle. Conclusion: We describe a unique and only case of a myositis ossificans on nasal dorsum which is indifferent from previous concept.

Myositis ossificans is a condition characterized by ossification within a muscle. It is a rare and unusual pathologic entity that has defied medical efforts to establish a definite etiology, pathogenesis, and satisfactory treatment of the disease. The condition predominantly affects the flexor muscles of the upper limbs and thighs, but rarely the head and neck area. A 53-year-old male patient visited our medical institution complaining of trismus, defined as limited mouth opening. The patient had a history of trauma to the facial bones and the computed tomography scans revealed calcification in the left temporalis muscle. The patient underwent surgical removal of the calcified mass with bilateral coronoidectomy under general anesthesia. Mouth opening at the end of post-operative 2 months was 28 mm. His oral intake of food was satisfactory. Myositis ossificans of the temporalis muscle is a very rare case. Satisfactory outcome was obtained by combining surgical excision of the affected muscle, coronoidectomy, and detachment of the insertion site of the ossified muscle.

We had experienced a case of traumatic myositis ossificans arising in right masseter muscle, inferior to zygomatic arch occurred on 25 year old male. He had some trauma on the site one year ago and visited with complaint of mouth opening limitation and swelling. Palpable mass with facial disfigurement was noted. and several ovoid radiopaque masses were revealed on C.T. examination. On histopathologic examination, multiple bone trabeculae with osteoblasts in its periphery was noted in connective tissues and invaded to neighbouring muscles, but any chondroid components were not revealed.

Muscular involvement in Behcet's disease is rare manifestation in spite of basic characteristic that is vasculitis can invade multi-organ of the entire body. A few cases has been announced involving the lower extremities, the arm and generalized weakness. Like our case, myositis involving the masticatory muscles with clinically diagnosed Behcet's disease was presented with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the clinical findings, which is, not yet documented in the literature.
