The patient was diagnosed with inflammatory myositis due to plasmacytosis. Given that plasmacytosis has previously been reported to disrupt the immune status, myositis in this patient might have been associated with abnormal autoimmune inflammation. Neurologists and physicians should thus be aware that plasmacytosis might be associated with inflammatory myositis accompanied by myalgia.
