Abstract:
Scleroderma-polymyositis overlap syndrome is strongly associated with certain autoantibodies, such as anti-PM-Scl antibody and anti-Ku antibody. We describe a case of scleroderma-polymyositis overlap syndrome associated with anti-Ku antibody, which revealed rimmed vacuole formation in addition to intranuclear and intracytoplasmic filamentous inclusions in muscle biopsy specimens.
