The frequency of fasciitis was significantly higher among the patients with DM than among the patients with PM (p &lt; 0.05). Histopathologically, fasciitis in PM was very mild in comparison to that in DM. The frequency of myalgia in patients with fasciitis was significantly higher than that in patients without fasciitis (p &lt; 0.05). However, myalgia was not associated with myositis. There were no significant differences in the patients with and without fasciitis in age, sex, manual muscle test 8 scores, CK or aldolase activities, or the presence of anti-Jo1 antibodies and malignancy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title><jats:p>The frequency of fasciitis was significantly higher among patients with DM than among those with PM.
