The review provides an update on the diagnosis of the main subtypes of inflammatory myopathies including dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), necrotizing autoimmune myositis (NAM) and sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM). The fundamental aspects on muscle pathology and the unique pathomechanisms of each subset are outlined and the diagnostic dilemmas concerning the distinction of PM from sIBM and NAM are addressed. Dermatomyositis is a complement-mediated microangiopathy leading to destruction of capillaries, hypoperfusion and inflammatory cell stress on the perifascicular regions. NAM, is an increasingly recognized subacute myopathy triggered by statins, viral infections, cancer or autoimmuity with macrophages as the final effector cells causing fibre injury. In PM and sIBM cytotoxic CD8-positive T cells clonally expand in situ and invade major histocompatibility-I-expressing muscle fibres. The pathology of sporadic inclusion body myositis is complex because, in addition to the inflammatory mechanisms, there are degenerative features characterized by vacuolization and the accumulation of stressor and amyloid-related misfolded proteins. Inducible pro-inflammatory molecules, such as interleukin 1-beta, may enhance the accumulation of stressor proteins. The principles for more effective treatment strategies are discussed.
