Association of inclusion body myositis with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
We present the case of a 71-year-old man with inclusion body myositis combined with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and dysphagia. Although inclusion body myositis is usually resistant to immunosuppressive therapy, this patient improved under treatment with corticosteroids. The presented case is discussed in the context of earlier reports of inclusion body myositis and lupus erythematosus.
