Core Tip

Core Tip: Proliferative myositis is a rare and self-limiting benign tumor. Although preoperative imaging can identify certain characteristics, it is still difficult to achieve a conclusive diagnosis. Most cases are not diagnosed until after surgical resection. A needle biopsy is helpful in the diagnosis of proliferative myositis, and surgery involving local excision is sufficient. When the resected mass is located in the abdominal wall, local defects can be considered for patch repair. The key to treatment lies in avoiding misdiagnosis as a malignant tumor, resulting in excessive extended resection and corresponding trauma.
