Abstract | Sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM) is the most common acquired inflammatory myopathy that occurs after the age of 50 years. IBM typically involves wrist and finger flexors and quadriceps, but all sporadic IBM may not have the classic presentation of distal arm and proximal leg involvement. Treating physicians must be aware of this atypical presentation to avoid the misdiagnosis of IBM, leading to treatment with immunosuppressive agents. The aim of this study is to increase the awareness among physicians about the atypical presentation of IBM and to emphasize the importance of muscle biopsy in such cases. Here we report a case of 52 years old male diagnosed with sporadic IBM by muscle biopsy presented with atypical presentation. |
