“…6,7 Involvement of hands is rare as seen in this patient. Roh et al 8 reported a case of FEM in the hand, which presented as a refractory pyogenic infection. Blood tests that support the diagnosis of this disorder include the presence of eosinophilia (>0.5 Â 10 9 eosinophils/L, or >5%).…”

“…Morphological analysis (MRI) allowed the confirmation of diagnosis; when performed, this found an isolated mass: T1-weighted images showed a swelling and T2-weighted images an enhanced diffuse reticular pattern of the muscle [6,7,[10][11][12][13].…”

“…Sur le plan biologique, il était noté une éosinophilie sanguine et une élévation des enzymes musculaires dans la moitié des cas, sans syndrome inflammatoire associé. L'IRM permettait de conforter le diagnostic en montrant un hypersignal limité à un muscle ou un groupe musculaire sur les séquences pondérées T2 Fat-Sat [6][7][8][9][10][11]. L'analyse histologique retrouvait un infiltrat inflammatoire fait d'éosinophiles, parfois associée à quelques fibres en nécrose/régénération.…”
