Correlation of Dermatopathologic Findings and Autoantibody Subtypes in Dermatomyositis
Variability in skin biopsy findings from dermatomyositis patients with specific autoantibodies is limited. Perivascular inflammation without interface change and an absence of dermal mucin may be more common in patients with nuclear matrix protein 2 and TIF1γ autoantibodies, respectively. These observations may aid diagnosis in cases with atypical histologic features.
