Abstract
We report an interesting association of inflammatory myopathy, characterized pathologically as dermatomyositis, with bronchiolitis obliterans/organizing pneumonia and anti-histidyl-tRNA synthetase (Jo-1) antibody. The relations of different types of pulmonary involvement to inflammatory myopathy and antisynthetase antibodies are discussed.
