“…Differential diagnosis, histopathologic examination, ultrasound examination, and MRI are effective tools for diagnosing cysticercosis and determining the degree of swelling. 12 At present, conservative treatment has not been effective for DC. Surgical debridement to remove calcified and necrotic tissue is still the primary method of treatment for DC, but no consensus has been reached.…”

Chronic lower extremity venous insufficiency can cause local dystrophy, and some patients will develop calf dystrophic calcification. In this case report, the authors describe a patient with varicose veins of both lower extremities, venous insufficiency of the lower extremities, recurring ulcers on the left leg for more than 20 years, and diabetes mellitus with dystrophic calcification of the calf. The patient's left leg ulcer showed extensive chronic inflammation, pathological calcification, and necrosis of the subcutaneous tissue with a thickness of approximately 0.5 to 1 cm. The computed tomography, X-ray, and hematoxylin-eosin staining results confirmed calcification; the leg skin thickened because of inflammatory irritation. After 11 months of treatment, the calcified and necrotic calcification and necrotic tissue were removed, and the wound healed.

Miyozitler kasların özellikle istemli kasların inflamasyınu olup tuttuğu bölgede lokalize ve yaygın ağrıya, o bölgede şişlik ve güçsüzlükle karakterizdedir. Klinik seyir tutulan kas sayısı ve konakçı türüne göre değişmektedir. Tanıda klinik tablo ve radyolojik görüntüleme önemlidir. Kesin tanı parazitolojik, serolojik ve moleküler yöntemlerle ve doku biyopsilerinin histopatolojik incelemesi ile doğrulanır. Tedavi etken türüne göre değişkenlik göstermektedir. Bu derleme çalışmasında mevcut literatürün miyozite neden olan paraziter etkenler açısından gözden geçirilmesi amaçlandı.
