Pyomyositis is a pyogenic infection of skeletal muscle. It is relatively rare in temperate climates. Unfamiliarity with the lesion may lead to a delay in diagnosis. This report describes pyomyositis of the calf muscles in a patient with chronic hepatitis whose clinical symptoms simulated those of distal deep venous thrombosis. The correct diagnosis was not made until computed tomography revealed a local abscess in the calf muscles.
