Inflammatory myositis: Idiopathic? Overlap? Paraneoplastic?

Abstract

Inflammatory myositis is a heterogeneous group of diseases, mainly involving muscle inflammation, where extramuscular lesions such as the skin, lung, heart, and gastrointestinal tract can be involved. It is characterized by proximal muscle weakness, elevated muscle enzyme, myopathic pattern in electromyography, typical histological findings in muscle biopsy and typical skin lesions in dermatomyositis. Inflammatory myositis can be divided into subgroups, including dermatomyositis, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, overlap myositis (containing antisynthetase syndrome), inclusion body myositis, amyopathic dermatomyositis, polymyositis, cancer-associated myositis through new myositis specific autoantibodies, histopathological developments, and classification criteria.
