FACP, FACR What is polymyositis? What causes polymyositis? What are symptoms of polymyositis? ... Polymyositis At A Glance What is polymyositis? Polymyositis is a disease of muscle featuring inflammation of the muscle fibers. The cause of the disease is not known. It begins when white blood cells, the immune cells of inflammation, spontaneously invade muscles. The muscles affected are mostly those closest to the trunk or torso. This results in weakness which can be severe. It is a chronic illness with periods of increased symptoms, called flares or relapses, and decreased symptoms, known as remissions. Polymyositis is slightly more common in females. It affects all age groups, although its onset is most common in middle childhood and in the twenties. Polymyositis occurs throughout the world. Polymyositis can be associated with skin rash and is then referred to as "dermatomyositis." It also can affect other areas of the body and is, therefore, a systemic illness. Occasionally, it is associated with

References Definition Myositis ossificans is a reparative process in which bone forms in skeletal muscle . When bone forms in soft tissues other than skeletal muscle, the process is termed ectopic ossification. The two, for all intents and purposes, are the same. Clinical Presentation Most commonly, myositis ossificans (MO) occurs in the major muscle groups following a significant episode of trauma. Initially, there is an area of induration and ecchymosis which, in two to three weeks, is followed by the development of a firm mass . As the inflammatory signs diminish, the mass may be asymptomatic Myositis ossificans often follows major surgical procedures and is particularly noted in and about the hip after total hip replacement . Less frequently, there is no associated trauma, and the process is first noted as an asymptomatic mass. A rare syndrome in young children in which multiple lesions occur is called myositis ossificans progressiva . A second term is fibrous ossificans progressiva (FOP). These children present with extensive involvement of the major muscle groups that begin as large painless fibrous masses resembling juvenile fibromatosis. With time ossification takes place within the masses producing significant stiffness and disability. In addition to the ossifying masses there is abnormal shortening of the first metatarsal and metacarpal bones producing a

Whether you are the one that is sick or a family member or friend, remember you do not need to be alone in dealing with these diseases. As a long term survivor of my disease, Dermatomyositis, I wanted to share with you my experiences and my thoughts and I wish you find this site hopeful as well as helpful. Me at the Myositis Conference in Houston, 10/6/2003 This April marks the 33rd Anniversary of this disease. I was diagnosed in 1971, 1 month after I turned 16. Wow, what a journey. I have my ups and downs but despite my disability and lack of mobility I lead a very rich and happy life. I am surrounded by friends and family and by my very loving, very considerate, very helpful and very PATIENT husband, Tom, whom I've been married to for almost 14 years. I stay active as a KIT Leader in my myositis support group and I work part-time from my home doing income taxes and bookkeeping. I also help my husband run his painting business.

THE MYOSITIS ASSOCIATION (TMA) ANNUAL CONFERENCE - AUGUST 26 - 29TH - LAS VEGAS - RESERVE YOUR PLACE NOW - CONTACT TMA AT WWW.MYOSITIS.ORG About Myositis Inflammatory Myopathies are a group of rare muscle diseases that result in the degeneration and inflammation of skeletal muscle tissue, resulting in discernible muscle weakness. The muscle weakness usually develops slowly over weeks to months and often years. Inflammatory Myopathies are thought be autoimmune in nature as the inflammatory cells surround, invade and destroy healthy muscle fibers as though they were foreign to the body. Inflammatory Myopathies include Dermatomyositis (DM), Juvenile Myositis (JM/JDM) or Polymyositis (PM) and Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM). Each different disease results in muscle weakness though each has its own characteristics, development and treatment. Myositis diseases are very rare and affect about 10 out of one million people each year. It is estimated that about 40,000 people in the U.S. may have this type of disease. Many cases go undiagnosed for years. Dermatomyositis (DM) which has a skin rash and Polymyositis (PM) affects mostly women in their 40-50's but can show up in men and in children, some at a very young age. In children this disease is called Juvenile Myositis (JM) or Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDMS), one common characteristic of JDMS is the formation of calcium deposits in the muscle. Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) is mostly found in men after the age of 50-60. It is quite different from the other Myositis diseases as it doesn't respond much to drug therapy. Treatment options vary depending on the type of Myositis and its severity.

Other characters Myositis ossificans, a disorder in which the muscles (and frequently also other soft tissue such as tendons, ligaments, fasciae, aponeuroses and joint capsules) are involved by heterotopic ossification or cartilage formation. Two main categories are recognized. Myositis ossificans traumatica (also termed myositis ossificans circumscripta) frequently occurs after some type of trauma, although in other cases the patient may have one of the systemic problems in which soft tissue ossification occurs, such as neurologic conditions, burns and tetanus ( Fig.1 ). Some lesions develop spontaneously ( pseudomalignant osseous tumour of soft tissue). Some patients may not have the inflammation or the muscle involvement suggested by the term "myositis." Areas commonly affected are the elbow, thigh, buttocks, shoulder and calf. Highly diagnostic on radiographs is the presence of a peripheral rim of calcification and ossification about a more lucent centre. Another important finding is a radiolucent band between the lesion and the subjacent cortex. In myositis ossificans progressiva , also called fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, a hereditary disorder of connective tissue, the pattern of inheritance remains unknown, but most reported cases result from spontaneous mutations. Most patients have bilateral microdactyly of the first toes, often associated with synostosis of the phalanges. The pathologic abnormalities of connective tissue are similar to those of myositis ossificans traumatica. However, in myositis ossificans progressiva, the first spicules of bone can appear in the centre of the nodules, which is the opposite of the peripheral pattern of ossification (the zonal phenomenon) occurring in myositis ossificans traumatica. Eventually the entire muscle or muscle group is replaced by columns of lamellar bone. Smooth muscles are spared. Typically, myositis ossificans progressiva is characterized by erratic remissions and exacerbations, with new episodes often being precipitated by minor trauma, injections or surgery.

In this disorder, muscle weakness may progress slowly or reach a plateau. In contrast to polymyositis, there is little or no association with malignancy or connective tissue disease.

There is no standard course of treatment for IBM. The disease is unresponsive to corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive drugs. Some evidence suggests that intravenous immunoglobulin may have a slight beneficial effect in a number of cases. Physical therapy may be helpful in maintaining mobility. Other therapy is symptomatic and supportive. IBM is generally resistant to all therapies, and its rate of progression also appears to be unaffected by the present treatments.
