“…Although imaging may be helpful in identifying muscular alteration in BD (77), histopathology is crucial for differential diagnosis. In BD it is usually represented by focal skeletal muscle involvement, (75,78) but orbital involvement has also been described (79,80). The muscular biopsy in BD samples typically exhibits perivasculitis (81,82) or necrotizing vasculitis (83), with muscular inflammation presenting as myositis and necrotic foci (76,81,84,85), sometimes with a nodular aspect (84).…”

“…However, muscular involvement may be present in a large group of patients and may be useful in confirming the diagnosis of vasculitis (2). In patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), the presence of typical myositis is uncommon and is de- described (79,80).…”

The presence of muscular symptoms is common in rheumatological clinical practice, but often the differential diagnosis between muscular involvement in connective tissue diseases, vasculitis and drug-induced myopathy may be difficult. In addition to clinical assessment, laboratory analysis and instrumental examinations, muscle biopsy may help to clarify the diagnosis in patients with muscular involvement. The purpose of this review is to provide a critical analysis of the current medical literature on muscular histopathology, to help clinicians to identify when to perform muscular biopsy and to provide a practical guide to a better understanding of the pathology report. Moreover, we provide an overview of the muscular involvement and the most common histopathological findings in rheumatic diseases.

“…With regard to the visual system, Bechet's disease is classically associated with retinal vasculitis and uveitis, but several case reports have noted an association with orbital inflammation and myositis [112][113][114][115][116].…”

“…In all cases, the associated orbital inflammation and myositis responded well to IV corticosteroids followed by an oral taper [113][114][115][116]. Of note, one patient was initially treated with oral steroids with minimal effect, and then experienced complete remission following IV steroids [113].…”
