Objective: Autoimmune neuromuscular disorders as polymyositis (PM) are rare and heterogeneous conditions. PM and its variant necrotizing PM (nPM) are idiopathic inflammatory myositides similar as dermatomyositis and inclusion body myositis. Due to their rare occurrence, evidence based therapy regimens are lacking. Methods: A case report of nPM and its successful treatment are presented. The diagnostic procedures including muscle biopsy, muscle MRI, electromyography and differenzial diagnosis are depicted, the therapeutic approaches of acute and long-term treatment decisions discussed.
