Abstract
Major pathology consists of focal inhomogeneous inflammation with injury, death, and repair of muscle cells. Each subgroup of myositis has characteristic changes on microscopy and immunochemistry. Etiology is still unclear but selected environmental exposures in genetically predisposed hosts have been found. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. © 2008 Springer-Verlag New York.
