Abstract
Interesting and unusual causes of knee pain in three patients with idiopathic inflammmatory myositis seen in the clinic over the past 12 months are reported. Their clinical features are described and treatment discussed emphasising the importance of being able to differentiate between a manifestation of the rheumatic disease and a treatment complication. Publications on this topic are also reviewed.
