Focal Eosinophilic Myositis

Abstract

We report a case of focal eosinophilic myositis of the frontalis muscle in a 38-year-old man. The skin lesion was a single firm flesh-colored swollen lesion measuring 1×1.5 cm in size on the right forehead. The biopsy revealed inflammatory infiltrates composed of mainly eosinophils and a few lymphocytes in the muscles. The skin lesion subsided with intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide, 5 mg/ml.
