Hoffman syndrome is characterized by pseudohypertrophy of muscles, muscle’s weakness & stiffness complicating hypothyroidism. We describe the disorder in a 45 years old female admitted with complaints of myalgia, proximal muscle weakness & calf muscle hypertrophy since 11 months. Thyroid function tests, marked elevation of muscle enzyme, electromyogram & muscle biopsy established the diagnosis of thyroid myopathy with Hoffman’s syndrome. Therapy with levothyroxine resulted in marked clinical & biochemical improvements.J MEDICINE July 2015; 16 (2) : 112-114

Abstract BACKGROUND Autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2N is caused by mutations in the POMT2 gene. The disease is characterized by proximal muscle weakness,with minimal progression, with cognitive impairment,a significantly elevated serum level of creatine kinase. CASE PRESENTATION A 9-year-old boy presented with proximal muscle weakness since the last 4 years,with minimal progression.There was no significant family history.Medical examination showed no generalized muscle hypertrophy. Serum creatine kinase level was 52-fold higher than the normal value. Wechsler Intelligence scale for Children (WISC, 4) suggested mild cognitive impairment (IQ =74). DNA sequence analysis identified a novel missense mutation (c. 287A > G) and a known mutation (c. 1261C > T). CONCLUSIONS This case report of autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2N caused by a novel compound heterozygous mutation expands the genotypic spectrum of POMT2 gene.

Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic muscle disease characterized by proximal muscle weakness, raised muscle enzymes, characteristic changes in electromyography and typical skin rash and biopsy findings. Dermatological features like Gottron’s sign and papules are considered as pathognomonic for dermatomyositis. Panniculitis is one of the rare findings in DM. Here, we report a case of DM in 37 years old female who presented with only panniculitis and the diagnosis was delayed by more than a year.
