title: Resolving eosinophilic myositis: MR features.
abstract: We describe MR findings in a case of idiopathic eosinophilic myositis presenting as painful swelling of the upper arm. Imaging revealed diffusely enlarged and edematous triceps muscle with an associated ill-defined heterogeneous mass in its midportion. Prominent edema was noted in adjacent fascia. The follow-up MR image showed complete resolution, though no specific treatment was given.
