“…Along with this, the patient also presented with metastatic deposit in the right ovary. In previous reported cases of intramuscular metastasis from gastric carcinoma, the commonest site of muscle metastasis is in the lower limb with the skeletal muscle of the thigh and the calf becoming the most common anatomical sites whereas the skeletal muscle of the upper limb and other sites were less involved [3] . In this particular case, the intramuscular metastasis was located in the right pelvic and thigh regions.…”

“…Primary soft tissue sarcomas and lymphoma have similar appearance on T1-weighted images to intramuscular metastasis. On T2-weighted images, sarcomas have the same appearances as well, but may demonstrate more areas of haemorrhage, necrosis, calcification and peritumoral oedema, especially in larger tumours [3,8] . In lymphoma, the tumours demonstrate intermediate signal intensity compared with fat on T2-weighted images.…”

“…However in our case, the intramuscular metastasis developed without having metastasis in these organs. There are several papers previously reporting skeletal muscle metastasis arising from gastric carcinoma [2,3] .…”

“…The optimal treatment of intramuscular metastasis is yet to be known. Although there are reports on various treatment for intramuscular metastasis from primary gastric cancer which include surgical excision, radiation therapy, or systemic chemotherapy, however, ineffective for prolonging the survival of the patients [2,3] .…”

“…Although the skeletal muscle mass of the human body receives an ample supply of blood and accounts for nearly 50% of the total body weight, intramuscular metastasis from gastric carcinoma is extremely rare with the exact incidence remains unknown. Thus far, only several sporadic cases have been reported [2][3][4][5] as it may be difficult to distinguish intramuscular metastasis clinically from inflammatory myositis. …”

Intramuscular metastasis from gastric carcinoma is extremely rare with the exact incidence remains unknown. It may be difficult to distinguish intramuscular metastasis clinically from inflammatory myositis. We describe here the radiological and diagnostic features of an elderly lady presented with antral adenocarcinoma, complicated further by extensive skeletal muscle metastasis that was initially diagnosed as polymyositis. Good clinical history, thorough physical examination and appropriate imaging evaluation are the mainstay in the diagnosis as it is a great challenge in differentiating between intramuscular metastasis and polymyositis through imaging. It is vital to include intramuscular metastasis as a major differential diagnosis, in view of the differences in treatment, prognosis and long-term follow up including a histopathological examination to further ascertain diagnosis.
