Abstract:
Here we report a case of the classical inclusion body myositis. The muscle pathology in a 61-year-old male patient with slowly progressive proximal muscle weakness and atrophy revealed basophilic rimmed vacuoles on light microscope and intracytoplasmic filamentous inclusions with membranous whorls through electron microscope. He did not respond to steroid therapy.
