title: Proliferative myositis: an unusual cause of multiple subcutaneous nodules.
abstract: Proliferative myositis is a rare inflammatory condition which clinically has an apparently aggressive growth pattern reminiscent of a sarcoma. Histopathological features are characteristic but not widely recognized, so misdiagnosis may occur. We describe a patient presenting to the Dermatology Department and review the literature and current diagnostic techniques.
