- DOES NOT include Masticatory Muscle Myositis
- Rare
- Clinical signs:
- Muscle pain
- Fever
- Weakness, particularly in hind limbs
- Grossly:
- Inflammation is accompanied by muscle necrosis and regeneration
- Histologically:
- Inflammatory foci with lymphocytes, plasma cells and occasionally eosinophils
- Possibly immunological cause
- Single biopsy may not be enough to make the diagnosis as it tends to be multifocal and disseminated
- Lesions similar to some infectious causes (such as Toxoplasma gondii)
