An inflammatory myopathy, characterised by joint and muscle pain, chronic asthenia, with infiltration of peri-fascicular epimysium, perimysium and endomysium by cells of the macrophagic line, macrophagic myofasciitis is often associated with other, generally auto-immune, affections. However, the coexistence with another inflammatory myopathy is relatively rare.
A 29 year-old woman presented with 2 distinct inflammatory myopathies, a macrophagic myofasciitis and a dermatomyositis, which had appeared a few years after.
In the rare cases in which 2 inflammatory myopathies are combined, the precise relationship between them is unknown, an individual susceptibility to developing muscle diseases is suggested.
巨噬细胞性肌筋膜炎是一种炎症性肌病，其特征为关节和肌肉疼痛、慢性乏力，伴有巨噬细胞系细胞浸润束周肌外膜、肌束膜和肌内膜，常与其他通常为自身免疫性的疾病相关。然而，与另一种炎症性肌病共存相对少见。
一名29岁女性患有两种不同的炎症性肌病，即巨噬细胞性肌筋膜炎和皮肌炎，后者在数年后出现。
在两种炎症性肌病合并的罕见病例中，它们之间的确切关系尚不清楚，提示存在个体对发生肌肉疾病的易感性。
