Proliferative myositis--a case report.
Proliferative myositis is a recently recognized and unusual reactive fibroproliferative lesion of striated muscle. It shows a bizarre cytological and histological appearance that can mimic a soft tissue sarcoma. It is important to recognize this pseudosarcomatous lesion so as to spare the patient anxiety and unnecessary surgery.
