Abstract

Lupus myopathy is an uncommon manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), often mimicking genetic myopathies such as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. The presence of autoimmune liver antibodies, particularly anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA), is rare and may suggest an overlap autoimmune syndrome. Recognizing such presentations in adolescents is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
