ResumoWe describe a case of localized polymyositis accompanied by chronic thyroiditis. Computerized tomogram and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies clearly revealed the lesion localized in the left gastrocnemius muscle. MRI was useful in determining the extent and severity of the muscle lesion. Steroid administration was very effective in the treatment of this patient.
