A case of interstitial myositis associated with a localised lipoatrophy is
reported. The patient is a 24 year old man who presented with severe
painful cramps and fasciculations localised to one limb. The rarity of both
disorders, and their likely common autoimmune mechanism, suggest that this
is not a chance association.
