Preface

  Myospherulosis is an exceptional disorder with distinctive histological features comprised of a granulomatous reaction to aggregates of denatured erythrocytes interacting with endogenous and exogenous lipid-rich substances. Myospherulosis was initially scripted by McClatchie in 1969 as an uncommon, chronic inflammatory disorder demonstrating soft tissue nodules appearing as fungi-like spherules composed of red cell extravasation delineated upon sites of preceding intramuscular injections [1].
