Abstract
Ulcerative colitis UC and Crohns disease are inflammatory bowel diseases often associated with extraintestinal manifestations Of these neutrophilic dermatoses and arthropathies are the more frequently observed while the occurrence of striated muscle disorders namely myositis has been very rarely diagnosed in these kinds of patients The coexistence of immunomediated diseases in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases and myositis suggests a common aetiopathogenetic mechanism underlying these conditions The present report refers to a rare case of a 51yearold female with UC and Hashimotos thyroiditis who developed myositis
