Abstract
Muscle biopsy for inflammatory myopathies facilitates the direct observation of muscle pathology at the site of inflammation by obtaining a small amount of tissue for pathological diagnosis. In clinical settings, muscle pathology derived from a muscle biopsy provides information limited to the tissue sampled. Thus, clinical information must supplement this to ascertain whether the obtained muscle pathology aligns with patient clinical presentation of myositis. This paper discusses considerations for effectively utilizing muscle biopsy in diagnosing inflammatory muscle diseases in clinical practice. Additionally, we briefly explore interpreting the pathological findings of myositis obtained from biopsy samples.
