Abstract:
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are rare diseases (incidence 1:100,000) with a wide range of clinical symptoms and manifestations. Typical indicators of IIM are proximally emphasized muscle weakness and myalgias, which are usually accompanied by elevated creatine kinase levels and muscle atrophy. The autoantibody diagnostics separate IIM into different entities, which are each associated with a typical risk of organ manifestations and the occurrence of tumors. The IIM represents an interdisciplinary challenge and the diagnostics and treatment require the involvement of several disciplines including rheumatology, neurology, neuropathology, dermatology and pneumology. An accurate diagnosis and careful tumor screening are essential because of the association between certain subgroups of IIM and the occurrence of malignant tumors.
