Focal myositis is a rare inflammatory disease of the skeletal muscle that may involve any part of the body. We present a 19-year-old man with a short history of a painful pseudotumor in the right temporal region. MRI pictures showed a swollen right temporal muscle and muscle biopsy revealed the characteristic histological and immunocytochemical findings of polymyositis.
