Abstract
Minor inflammatory changes may be found in muscle in connective disease without the full clinical and pathological picture of polymyositis. It seems logical to consider polymyalgia rheumatica with this group, although genuine myositis is most unusual. Inclusion body myositis is also usually included with the inflammatory myopathies, but despite the name, its qualifications are rather slight.
