A rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) characterized principally by myositis, generally symmetrical arthritis and interstitial lung disease (ILD) in association with serum autoantibodies to aminoacyl-transfer RNA synthetases (anti-ARS). More variable features include arthralgia, Raynaud phenomenon, heliotrophic rash, distal esophageal dysmotility and mechanic's hands.
