Childhood systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) is a heterogeneous complex multisystem disease with substantial complications. We report a girl with refractory SLE developed myalgia and muscle weakness involving proximal and distal lower extremities as a sequel of macrophage activation syndrome. Muscle biopsy and proper staining revealed a rare necrotizing myopathy with interstitial macrophages which expands the differential diagnosis of inflammatory muscle disease in cSLE.
