    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Myositis proliferans is a rare condition first described by Kern in 1960.
    • It presents as a painful, firm, and immovable tumor.

    Observation:

    • An 86-year-old female presented with a 3 cm upper lip tumor consistent with myositis proliferans.
    • The tumor was painful, firm, and immovable.

    Findings:

    • Myositis proliferans can mimic sarcoma both clinically and histologically.
    • Differentiation from nodular fasciitis is possible through clinical and histological examination.

    Implications:

    • Recognizing myositis proliferans can prevent unnecessary invasive treatments.
    • This case highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis in dermatologic conditions.
