Abstract
Leg pain is a common symptom in dialysis patients. In most cases, the cause is easily identified, but some rare causes have been recognized. We describe a case of focal myositis as the source of recurrent leg pain in a hemodialysis patient. This disease usually is self-limited and has a spontaneously favorable outcome. We review the differential diagnosis of leg pain in this patient population.
