What Every Neuropathologist Needs to Know: The Muscle Biopsy

PMCID: PMC7985825  PMID: 33011796

In the article “What Every Neuropathologist Needs to Know: The Muscle Biopsy” (J Neuropathol Exp Neurol 2020; 79:719–733), a typographical error was made. The name should be ‘Nishino’ not ‘Nashino’. This has been corrected in the online publication as follows:

Inflammatory Myopathies and Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy

The topic of inflammatory myopathies is an evolving one with different perspectives on the diseases and their classifications, see for example Pestronk (39), Allenbach et al (10), and Tanboon and Nishino (40). Older terms, such as dermatomyositis and polymyositis, are now largely replaced by terms like immune myopathy with perimysial pathology, dermatomyositis spectrum disorders, antisynthetase syndrome myositis, sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM), and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM).
