MRI guided wire localization muscle biopsy in a child with juvenile dermatomyositis
A novel technique for preoperative MRI guided wire localization for targeted surgical excisional biopsy of muscle is described in a pediatric patient with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). This technique allows for preoperative localization of abnormalities seen only with MRI. Using this technique, the patient underwent successful targeted muscle biopsy for confirmation of the diagnosis and stagi...
متن کاملMuscle pathology in juvenile dermatomyositis.
OBJECTIVE To study muscle biopsies, using histochemistry, on ten children with infantile dermatomyositis. DESIGN Series of ten patients (of whom eight patients had received treatment and two had not) were submitted to muscle biopsy in order to diagnose possible inflammatory myopathy or to detect recurrences. PLACE OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE STUDY: Public Health Service of São Paulo State. PARTIC...
متن کاملMuscle Biopsy Findings in Combination With Myositis‐Specific Autoantibodies Aid Prediction of Outcomes in Juvenile Dermatomyositis
OBJECTIVE Juvenile dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare and severe autoimmune condition characterized by rash and proximal muscle weakness. While some patients respond to standard treatment, others do not. This study was carried out to investigate whether histopathologic findings and myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) have prognostic significance in juvenile DM. METHODS Muscle biopsy samples (...
متن کاملMaternal microchimerism in muscle biopsies from children with juvenile dermatomyositis
OBJECTIVE Recent advances in molecular techniques have revealed that there is bi-directional transfer of cells between mother and child during pregnancy, and the presence of a mother's cells in her child has been termed maternal microchimerism (MMc). There is the potential for maternal cells to provoke inappropriate immune responses in the child, which could be a factor in autoimmunity includin...
متن کاملMRI guided muscle biopsy confirmed polymyositis diagnosis in a patient with interstitial lung disease.
UNLABELLED Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, such as polymyositis (PM), may present with general symptoms such as fever and fatigue and only minimal muscle weakness, making it difficult to make a definite diagnosis and provide adequate treatment. Here a case is described in which interstitial lung disease was the first and most prominent manifestation of PM. Later, when muscle weakness became...
