# Biceps breakdown: a case of spontaneous necrotizing myositis

## TL;DR

This paper describes a rare case of biceps muscle inflammation in a healthy person and discusses the diagnostic and treatment challenges involved.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in presenting a rare case of spontaneous necrotizing myositis in an otherwise healthy individual.

## Key findings

- Computed tomography was crucial for diagnosing soft tissue infection.
- Source control is essential in managing septic patients with such conditions.

## Abstract

We report a case of spontaneous necrotizing myositis of the biceps brachii in an immunocompetent patient with no comorbidities. We highlight the diagnostic challenges with this case, the utility of computed tomography in diagnosing soft tissue infections, and the importance of source control in septic patients.
