A 68-year-old man known to have inclusion body myositis underwent a cricopharyngeal myotomy in an attempt to improve his progressive dysphagia. Morphological studies from tissues obtained during this procedure showed the diagnostic features typical of this chronic inflammatory myopathy. To our knowledge this is the first pathological demonstration of inclusion body myositis involving the pharyngeal skeletal musculature.

Résumé:

RÉSUMÉ:

Un homme de 68 ans connu comme étant porteur d'une myosite à corps d'inclusion a subi une myotomie cricopharyngienne dans le but d'améliorer sa dysphagie progressive. Les études morphologiques faites sur les tissus obtenus lors de l'intervention ont mis en évidence des éléments caractéristiques de cette myopathie inflammatoire chronique. À notre connaissance, c'est la première démonstration anatomo-pathologique d'une atteinte de la musculature du pharynx par une myosite à corps d'inclusion.
