Association Between Treatment-Resistant Sarcoid Myopathy and Inclusion Body Myositis

The association between sarcoid myopathy and inclusion body myositis is a rare phenomenon that is not well understood. In this case, we present a 46-year-old female with a five-year history of sarcoidosis who became refractory to treatment, experiencing progressive deterioration and muscle wasting....

description The association between sarcoid myopathy and inclusion body myositis is a rare phenomenon that is not well understood. In this case, we present a 46-year-old female with a five-year history of sarcoidosis who became refractory to treatment, experiencing progressive deterioration and muscle wasting. The patient’s distribution of muscle weakness did not follow characteristic patterns of inclusion body myositis. Yet, a subsequent deltoid biopsy revealed diagnostic findings typical of inclusion body myositis. This case report reveals an association between treatment-resistant sarcoid myopathy and the evolution of inclusion body myositis in the absence of characteristic clinical findings.
