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.
