We herein describe a case of sarcoid
myositis
with anti-Ku antibody positivity. Pathological findings of the muscle were compatible with sarcoidosis, but could not be completely distinguished from
myositis
diseases that arise from other causes. According to a physical examination, pathological findings, the detection of anti-Ku antibody and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-
DPB1
allele, we strongly suspected that the patient developed both sarcoidosis and polymyositis. Sarcoidosis is often complicated by autoimmune diseases. This case suggests the possibility that sarcoidosis and other autoimmune diseases may have common causal genetic factors.
