The group was joined by a patient representative from the Dutch working group of myositis patients. The participants discussed the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), that comprise a number of different entities recognized on clinical, pathological and immunological/serological grounds. Consensus documents on clinical and pathological classification criteria have been issued following previous ENMC and MRC workshops, but there remains a strong need to revise and re-classify. The present workshop aimed, by combining the input from people with diverse background, to draft a set of muscle biopsy diagnostic features and criteria that will gain wide acceptance in the clinical and scientific communities involved in IIM diagnosis. The workshop aimed at identifying crucial variables in muscle biopsies and how these should be evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively in routine histopathological studies, leading to a consensus classification and scoring system to be employed in diagnostic laboratories reading IIM diagnostic muscle biopsies. Traditionally, adult dermatomyositis (DM), juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), polymyositis (PM) and sporadic
