Inflammatory myopathy with abundant macrophage [IMAM] is marked by macrophage infiltration and muscle fibers damage, resembling dermatomyositis [DM] but with unique pathology. Its mechanism remains unclear. Our study focused on exploring the clinicopathological characteristics, underlying pathogenic mechanisms, and the challenges in diagnosing and managing IMAM.
