Abstract
- In 1971 inclusion body myositis was reported by Yunis and Samaha. This disease is similar with chronic multiple myositis clinically. Pathologically, inclusion body myositis is characterized by intracytoplasmic vacuole with degenerating fibers and accompanied with inclusion body in internal nucleus and cytoplasm. Since then 240 cases of inclusion body myositis have been reported in the world including 3 cases in Korea. A 27 years-old lady had inclusion body myositis, which show slowly progressive muscular weakness. We confirmed this with clinical symptom, muscle biopsy, and electrophysiologic study. We report the typical manifestation of inclusion body myositis in a 27 years-old lady with the brief review of literature.
