AB  - 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.
