Abstract
We present the case of a 71-year-old man with inclusion body myositis combi ned with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and dysphagia. Although inc lusion body myositis is usually resistant to immunosuppressive therapy, thi s patient improved under treatment with corticosteroids. The presented case is discussed in the context of earlier reports of inclusion body myositis and lupus erythematosus.
