Dermatomyositis (DM) is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy which is characterized clinically by symmetric proximal muscle weakness and unique cutaneous findings. While dermatomyositis primarily affects the skin and muscle, it can also have systemic manifestations including arthralgias, dysphagia and interstitial pneumonitis.

This disorder is categorized diagnostically under inflammatory myopathies due to the chronic muscle inflammation (“NINDS Dermatomyositis Information Page”, 2014). One of the first recognizable symptoms is a light colored skin rash often followed by the feeling of weak or tender muscles while performing activities which don’t usually provoke fatigue (Femia, 2014).

Dermatomyositis and polymyositis are idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Necrotizing autoimmune myopathy typically has necrotic myofibres with less inflammatory infiltrate and the absence of direct myocyte invasion by lymphocytes. These disorders are acquired and have in common the occurrence of significant muscle weakness and the presence of an
