•Inflammatory myopathies (IM) are rarely associated to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).•Dermatomyositis and anti-TIF1g + are the most frequent forms of IM associated to MDS.•Antisynthetase syndrome is not observed in MDS patients.•Association with MDS has a negative impact on IM patients’ survival. Patients with inflammatory myopathies (IM) are known to have an increased risk of developing malignancies. Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases occur in up to 25% of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). This study aimed to describe the rare association between IM and MDS. We report here the main characteristics, treatment, and outcome of 21 patients (11 national cases and 10 additional cases from a literature review) with IM associated to MDS. Median age of patients at IM diagnosis was 66 years (range 26 – 78). Diagnosis of the two conditions were concomitant in most patients (n=14/21) whereas MDS diagnosis preceded IM diagnosis in 5 patients. Different types of IM were observed but dermatomyositis was the most frequent (59%). Compared to IM without MDS (IM/MDS−), patients with MDS (IM/MDS+) were older (median 66 vs 55, p=0.3), more frequently male (sex ratio M/F 1.125 vs 0.41, p=0.14) and positive for anti-TIF1γ (24% vs 4%, p=0.0039). Antisynthetase syndrome was never observed among IM/MDS+ patients (0% vs 28%, p=0.01). MDS WHO type was not univocal, but the prognostic score was of low risk in almost all cases. IM was usually steroid sensitive (82% of patients) but often steroid dependent (56% of patients). Overall survival of IM patients with MDS was worse compared to patients with IM without MDS (p=0.0002). IM associated with MDS are mainly represented by dermatomyositis and/or anti-TIF1γ autoantibodies. Antisynthetase syndrome has not been described in association with MDS. Despite low-risk MDS, overall survival of IM patients with MDS is worse than IM patients without MDS.
