Summary Myositis in man may be divided into infectious and non-infectious forms. The myopathologist more often deals with the latter forms which comprise dermatomyositis/polymyositis, inclusion body myositis, mixed connective tissue disease/collagenoses, and granulomatous myopathies. Modern morphological techniques as enzyme-histochemistry, electron microscopy, immunohistology, and morphometry are of different value in various forms of myositis, but are often indispensable techniques in up-to-date diagnostic work up of a myositis.
