title: Myositis ossificans non-progressiva--reversible muscle calcification in polymyositis.
abstract: We report a case of muscle calcification, a rare complication of polymyositis, documented on muscle biopsy and computerized tomography scanning. As the calcification resolved radiologically, marked hypercalcaemia developed requiring forced diuresis.
