| |
− | | |
− | *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]]'')

− | ====Canine bilateral extraocular polymyositis====
| |
− | | |
− | *In Golden retrievers
| |
− | *Very rare
| |
− | *Clinical signs:
| |
− | **Acute bilateral exophthalmos
| |
− | *Involves only extraocular muscles except for retractor blbi
| |
− | *Grossly:
| |
− | **Swollen and pale extraocular muscles
| |
− | *Histologically:
| |
− | **Sterile myositis
| |
− | **Multifocal necrosis of myofibres
| |
− | **Lymphocytic, histiocytic and plasmacytic infiltrate with few [[Neutrophils|neutrophils]]

− | ====Bovine and ovine eosinophilic myositis====
| |
− | | |
− | *Unknown aetiology
| |
− | *Major cell involved is eosinphil
| |
− | *Usually noticed at slaughter - green muscle discoloration
| |
− | *May be caused by degenteration of [[Sarcocystis|''Sarcocystis'' spp.]]
| |
− | *Grossly:
| |
− | **Green discolored areas, well demarcated
| |
− | **Mostly in muscles of back and thighs
| |
− | *Histologically:
| |
− | **Massive eosinophil infiltration
| |
− | **Muscle fibres may degenerate
| |
− | **In old lesions - endimysial fibrosis, myofibre atrophy, some regeneration, lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages and few eosinophils
| |
− | **Capsule may form
