Inflammatory myopathies (IM) are the largest group of potentially treatable myopathies. In this case, we report development of IM in a patient with DD for the second time in the literature. Case presentation: The patient is a 59-year-old female, a known case of DD, who developed proximal muscle weakness 2 weeks prior to admission. Elevated muscle-enzymes, as well as typical electromyographic and radiologic confirmed the diagnosis of IM. Conclusions: Abnormalities in intracellular calcium homeostasis may explain the association between DM and DD, therefore it is noteworthy to keep this association in mind and conduct more research regarding this issue }, URL = {http://caspjim.com/article-1-906-en.html}, eprint = {http://caspjim.com/article-1-906-en.pdf}, journal = {Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine}, doi = {10.22088/cjim.9.2.201}, year = {2018} }
