Abstract
|
|
|
Dermatomyositis is a disorder of unknown etilogy characterized by an inflammatory myopathy involving striatedd skeletal muscle and associated characteristic skin lesions.
In recent years, there has been increased the awareness of the association of malignant tumor with this disorder. But the relations between dermatomyositis and malignant tumors remains controversial. Comparing to other countries, the incidence
rate
may
be said to be low in Korea. However, we suggest that our concerning makes it's associated maignant tumors discovered. The cutaneous necrosis, elevated erythrocyte seimentation rate, older age, or acute onset of symptoms proved to have the
preddictive
valuo of cancer in dermatomyositis. Therefore, we think that more detailed diagnostic workups for malignant neoplasms are recommended in the patient with this criterion.
Here we reported a case of dermatomyositis accompaning by lung cancer with brief review of literatures.
