Non-necrotizing granulomatous inflammation is a rare but easily recognized histopathological finding in skeletal muscle biopsy. A limited number of diseases are known to be associated with non-necrotizing granulomatous myopathy. Once identified, a careful evaluation for evidence of extramuscular gra ...
Conclusions: In the appropriate clinical context, exposure to immune checkpoint inhibitors and chronic graft-vs-host disease can be causes of granulomatous myopathy. In cases of unexplained granulomatous myopathy, natural killer/T-cell lymphoma should be considered and careful histopathological examination for atypical cells and appropriate immunostaining is crucial. Identifying the etiology of granulomatous myopathy in each patient can guide appropriate treatment.
