Abstract

The article discusses the case of a 71-year-old male with a five-year history of progressive proximal muscle weakness. Topics include findings on physical examination, histologic findings compatible with sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM), and response of the patient to methotrexate. Contradicting data about IBM are also mentioned.
